Thoughts on these 3 mid size sedans
Posted on 4/10/17 at 2:33 pm
Posted on 4/10/17 at 2:33 pm
Looking to buy in the next 3-4 months and have narrowed it down to these three models.
Would like to hear feedback on any of these models if you have driven them or have an opinion on them. I like the style and look of these 3 the best
TIA
2017 Nissan Altima SR
2017 Kia Optima
2017 Mazda 6

Why do chicken coops only have two doors? Because if they had four, they'd be chicken sedans.

Mazda will have the best quality.

Mazda 6 is not flashy but the experts seem to really like it. quick vehicle as well.
Want to ruin the driving experience of all 3?
Go test drive a Subie WRX
If your budget is around $30k, you'll thank me later.

why not go with a Sonata? 10yr 100k warranty

Mazda looks the best . Kia is probably the best value because you usually get more options standard . Winner is the Altima. I've owned all three brands at some point or another.

I have a '14 Mazda 6 iTouring and really love it.
slow as frick but I think it looks the best.
everyone and their dog has a Nissan Altima around here. don't get me wrong, they are good cars, but, I wanted to be a little different

Mazda 6 - it has surprisingly good acceleration for its class.

Latest gen altima has had terrible quality issues. At least when it first debuted anyway

I'm hearing terrible things about Hyundais from my mechanic friends.
Accord FTW! I put 200K miles over 10 years on a 2000 Accord V6 Coupe and all I ever had to do was replace a $120 alternator and a battery

BMW M4 coupe is the only way to go
