Looking a newer model sedan
Posted on 12/26/16 at 5:34 pm

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

yeah i love the Maximas, but really didnt want to spend that much.
Im looking at a preowned with under 20k miles on it.

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.

Smart man. I put 30-40K miles a year on my trucks. Always bought low miles used or demo's from last year model. I trade em in every 2 years and have never been upside down in one. I keep a separate account for my mileage/vehicle allowance checks and put left over money in there after I pay my note each month. It makes for a nice down payment on the next one. I only come out of pocket for insurance and it has worked out wonderfully.

Not listed but I just got a '16 Kia Optima EX (with most of the upgrades available) and I love it

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

On my 3rd Mazda
First one had over 200k on it
2nd one was right under 100k when I lost it in flood
Got a 16 Mazda 6 sport & I love it

Those Mazdas are smooth. Is it weird having the pop up screen so high?
Looks awkward but I guess it's better located to keep eyes on road
To the guy above, I put all my mileage checks first two years into my payments and paid off my Altima in 26 months. So for past 6 years I've had no car payment and pull in about 600-800 in mileage a month. It works out nice if you have a car with 30+ mpg

Do the new accords come with apple CarPlay? I've been kind of looking also. I like the Mazda looks but just wasn't sure how reliable they were.

Bought a Mazda 6 Touring last year, love it. Would recommend if you're looking for a "sporty sedan" type. Paid 25K i believe.

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.

Yep, my wife's accord "touring" has carplay, and an Android intedface. The rims on the new accords with exception to the touring & sport models look silly. Sport model is low tech with a 4cyl.

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 have a 2017 Accord Sport. It's been a good riding car. It's fine unless you have to have every tech feature imaginable. I recommend it.
