Disregard the memers op, I drove one for 15 minutes but it was enjoyable. I didn't have time to experience really anything about it though handling and power wise.
Only thing I can say I liked was how the volume knob is right near the arm rest for ease of use.

Have you tried a Fusion? That was my favorite midsize that I've actually drove. But maybe the 6 is better.

>>15458605
Mazda isn't that reliable and doesn't have good build quality
I always see newer Mazdas with a decent amount of rust
I'd rather have a 3.5l Nissan altima

BMW handling in a FF car?
How?
It does look kinda premium in real life though, props to the designers.

>>15458690
Opposite of truth troll strikes again

pretty great car. fully loaded interior is nice as fuck, power is a little lackluster but it's fine for a dd and it uses it well. handling is great for a ff shitbox

>>15458605
It's a shitty new car. It's identical to every other midsize sedan they just slap different fascias on it. Buy something more interesting or shut up and buy a civic for <5k.

Too much safety bullshit
Shitty pedestrian-safe design

>implying 180hp is worth jack in a pig fat heavy FWD car

Not a bad car but you couldn't be more wrong about handling, performance or reliability you fucking idiot.

Absolutely anon, go for it. I too don't see any flaws with it.

My friend's mom has one of these. It's really nice. For a japanese car, it's got some good luxuries, and if it was more available in manual I'd love it.
I know it has a 6 speed option, but I'm not going to custom order it just for that and there are none at any dealers around me. I have a manual Mazda 5 and that was hard enough to find.

I like older mazdas. All new cars are gay homofagmobiles.

You could get a mazdaspeed6 with almost all you listed plus AWD and 4cyl turbo for half the price

It's a good reason. The Accord will at least pull when fully loaded. I can't imagine hauling 4 Americans in a Mazda 6

>>15459833
I haul 4 people in my 160hp mazda3 all the time. Its no big deal.
Plus hauling 4 people in a 60hp honda too. Still does 75mph on the freeway

You can't possibly be serious if you consider that piece of shit a BMW. Apart from the badge and the kidneys there's nothing BMW about it.

>>15458690
altimas have holes in the floors...always

>>15458605
If you're not planning on getting anything for service uses then I would consider the 335d from BMW. you can pick one up semi high mileage 2011 with great options and luxury for around 11k. the car is RWD diesel so you get reliability and you get BMW handling because it's a BMW. also when you equate that diesel is normally 10 cents cheaper you get about 15% gain in MPG from the price too. so the gasoline equivalent would be 45-50ish highway. Also if not consider a Chevy cruise DI.

BMW is full of jews.

Get it. It's a good car. It's Car & Driver's top rated mid sized sedan. Fun to drive with a nice interior, not much else to say.

The autist in me hates that it comes with 19 inch wheels with tiny rotors and brakes, except 17 inch wheels look way too small for the car

For me personally, if I were buying a new car it should atleast have carplay/android auto. The infotainments in mazdas are linux based and people have managed to install android auto on them, however,

Not a Camry.

>>15458605
Best looking affordable sedan imo.

Wait for the next gen. News is saying that the turbo 4 from the CX9 can directly fit in to the mazda3/6.

>over 180hp

I love how you've worded that as if that's a staggering amount of power.
In any case, if you're looking at the newest 6, look at the newest Accord and Fusion as well.
They're objectively pretty much neck and neck.

>>15464227
cheaper even

a base sonata is a good $4k cheaper than a base camry from what i've seen

>>15464227
This.

Sonata literally out-Camry'd the Camry.

Also the first production car available with Android Auto. Has Faggle Fagplay too.

>>15458605
No power or hybrid option. If you want a V6, nope, and they MIGHT throw the Turbo 2.5 in at some point, but not any time soon. No hybrids in the near future either.

Other than that, the midsize class is pretty cutthroat. Test them all out. As much as I like Mazda, I wouldn't bother getting the 6 unless I had to have stick, which admittedly sucks in traffic that you will undoubtedly encounter.

>>15467181
>No hybrids
Thats the point moron

>>15458605
why don't they put the 2.5 in the mazda 2?
or at least the high power version of the 2.0

>>15467196
pretty stupid point then

>>15467214
Holy shit youre dense.
Mazda is all about keeping down weight while having great mpg in a reliable engine with fair horsepower.
No one else is getting 40+ mpg with a 2.5L at 180Hp. No one.
The hybrids arent even touching that power and barely breaking that mpg.

>>15467225
and in a few years time? mazda will have to pay someone else for hybrid tech

Accord and Camry hybrids hit 200hp and get 40mpg all day, unlike Mazdas that only hit 40+ highway. You can argue other merits, but holy shit google is literally right there.

>>15467225

The mazda3 2.5 with gets 35 mpg highway with 184 hp.

The kia Forte with the 2.0 gets 35 mpg highway with a 179 hp.

So really the mazda isn't that special.

The 2.0, the 2.4 isnt available on the forte

Why not get a Mazda 3s instead? its about 200-300 pounds lighter, wider wheel base compared to length, and has the same Engine. Its also not too small either with a good amount of leg room.

Reposting from another thread:

Just got a new job and have to relocate to a Georgia. Can't take my old '04 cavalier with 193K miles so I'm looking for an upgrade.

Was looking at a GTI, but I'm starting to realize I want to be closer to 20k maybe 23k, rather than 30k.

Was looking at the new Civics, as well as Subaru Imprezas with the hatchback, but I'm not sure about the CVT in the Subaru (even though it's supposed to get great gas mileage). Aslo looking at the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6, as well as an Accord.

My commute is 15-20 miles each way btw.

Or something else? I need to make a decision ASAP but am always indecisive and try to weigh my options too long.
