In my opinion, and because the TC could have the same engine based on what model/version Mazda 5 you opted for. If you're going personal carrier, you will have more room, even if you go for the cargo version.. you still have more room, just less seating. But the floor mounts are still present and one could acquire another row of seats. My over all impression of the TC, is simply looks like an ugly duckling, but handles like a sports car.
