Mazda 6 anyone

They are nice. Seats are very comfortable for me.

We have a 2018 Mazda6 with the 2.5 turbo engine. It's plenty peppy, but it only gets around 25 mpg or so. That said, the 2.5 without the turbo was too weak for that size sedan. It rides really well and handles fine.

At the time this car was purchased, the Nissan Altima was on the list. I really liked it, and it was a bit of a toss up as to the one to get. It ultimately came down to the best deal and dealership, and the Mazda won both of those rounds. In another city, it could have been the Nissan.

No experience with the 6, but I LOVE my parents new CX-5.

Honda Passport.

Honda Passport.

I did look at both the Pilot and Passport. Passport got lousy mpg.
Pilot got great mpg. Somehow the Pilot came off as minivanish.

The only good thing about that car Jim is the color sir.

Apparently most woes have been fixed. But I have no idea.

Lets talk Forester
They give me the VW vibe but I found a nice one... Brown leather...

Try out a Chrysler Pacifica. Great seats, good visibility from higher view, gas mileage where you want it and you can haul stuff.

A sensible person buys a vehicle that fits their needs and usage. Asking strangers on a forum which one to buy is always a dead end.

A sensible consumer narrows down the type of vehicle they need and also fits that into a budget. This thread has been all over the place.

Good luck.

One could argue that asking the collective hive mind that is BITOG... for better or worse...for ideas isn’t a bad place to start though, especially if you’re open to trying something you’d otherwise never think of yourself.
