I know a couple of folks that have the Altima. Most say, mechanically they're sound, but the fit and finish gives them problems. The Kia is a solid option. I personally have the CX-7 which is the Mazda 6 turned into a SUV. I love it. 6 years, 200k miles and nothing other than regular maintenance items. BTW, all these vehicles belong to sales people, so high miles and lots of stop and go wear and tear.

I know this isn't what you're asking. I just got back from buying my daughter a used car. Got her a 2014 Toyota Avalon with 30,000 miles and I only paid $17,905. I am blown away by how nice that car is. I wanted to give her mine and take that one home

yeah im in sales, lol

my company pays mileage and i need a good backseat for my stuff and to haul the kiddos

Ive always had sedans. My current Altima has 190k on it and no issues at all.


Its funny how i always thought Kia was a crap brand. i was surprised how well they do in the ratings.

We just bought a Subaru Legacy and love it. Give one a test drive before pulling the trigger. Standard AWD is pretty sweet.

I have a 16' Mazda 6 Touring. For 25K it's the best mid size sedan you can buy imo. Pic of my car out in the Smokies.

Gonna drive all 3

Question on the Mazda. Was it weird adjusting to the radio screen being so high up?

It looks odd to me. Wonder what owners think.

You in Dallas baw. Either get a 330i or Lexus IS 350. You know the drill!

I'm personally gonna lease a RC 350 F Sport here in a few months when the bonus check comes in :)

Didnt take me long to adjust at all. I like its position

Theres even a knob in the center console to adjust settings.

Honda Accord. It's just a super reliable car and the new ones are pretty slick looking.

I almost bought an Optima, I thought it was a really nice car for the money. Don't have any experience with the others. If the dealerships don't do overnight loans, you may want to try renting one and drive it for a day or 2. I know Optimas and Altimas are in a lot of rental fleets.

I have a 2015 Mazda6 and I love it. Third Mazda I have bought. I am surprised at how often I get asked about it.

Ex wife had the previous gen Mazda 6.

I drove a Mazda 3 for 10yrs and it was like brand new when I traded in for my 6.

Great cars. A lot more sporty than you would think.

I like the radio up high. I really don't use the in console radio controls since the radio is touch screen.
