I'm in sales and use my car for work during the week. I get reimbursed .55 cents a mile so i drive the hell out of it and make some extra money on top of it

currently have a 08 Altima with 195,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ, but in the next 6 months i will be looking to upgrade to something similar.

looking online and im fine with another Altima, but I've also liked what i've seen from the Mazda 6, Accords, and Hyundai Sonatas.

Anyone have any experience with the above mentioned recent year models?

The new Nissans are bad arse



Not bad if you're in the 25-30k range

Call the new Avalons a granma sedan all you want but you can get a 2015 used Avalon for around 20K and the things ride like a cloud.

I'd check out a Kia Optima. Good looking car.

I'm trying to decide between the Optima and the Accord. I really like the look of the Accord Sport.

Subaru Legacy. Went through this search last summer. Legacy is best we found. Could not be happier

Mazda 6 gets the best gas mileage and is rated as the best driving car.

I really enjoy my 14 Mazda 6 touring. The screen isn't too high. Slow as frick but a lot of nice features.

Bought this exact car for my wife for Christmas. Has a turbo and runs like a scolded dog! Not to mention the 9 speaker Bose rocks like a mug! Heated and cooled seats. It gets 29 mpg too! Sticker was 35 G's. Got it for 28!

I just shopped for the Toyota avalon. Super nice for interior space and I trust Toyota reliability. Ended up going with the Lexus instead due to wanting something nicer when spending so much time on the road and taking out customers, but the Avalon was nearly as nice (just liked the Lexus better).

If you can find a hyrid,that's 39 mpg too.

New Camry body comes out in July / september of 2017. Looks more like a Lexus than a Camry .

There's no perfect answer, my choices in that category would be-

Accord Sport Sensing
Subaru Legacy
Toyota Avalon

Good luck.

Give a used Passat TSi SE a look. 35+ mpg and has some giddy up with the V6.

I just bought a 2014 Mazda 6 GT because it was the perfect blend of sport and design for me. With all your mileage though, you need to get what is the lost comfortable and I'm not sure the Mazda fits that bill. I would go for a Lexus or Volvo to get the step up in material and build quality, but I hear the 2016 Mazda 6 has been a big step up.

Get the 16 Altima sport. I got the basic and while it is nice, no cruise control sucks
