    It’s over… The Mazda 6 Touring is the winner. 6 cylinder, 6 speed sport transmission, backup camera and blind spot sensors, and a clean bill of health from our mechanic. With appropriate maintenance it should have another 150K miles left…

      It'll be a good car for you guys.

      I had a Mazda 626 for a while. It was a good car. The coolest thing about it was that the center heat/ac vents oscillated back and forth.

      Mine was a 1984 and I kept it for 5 years. Once we got past 3 kids, we descended into minivan hell.

        @jon-nyc 2011 with 140K miles. The miles were a bit high but the mechanic gave it his blessing. The price is right, so…

          It’ll be a good car for Lucas… Karla got her Pilot, Luke’s taken care of through College, Finley just got his Bentley, that means I’m next!

            Interesting that it had all that tech in 2011.

            Was it a Craigslist, or what?

              Surprisingly, it was a real dealership. But the Carfax is clean, the car has been checked up and down (I even had a guy check for engine codes that were cleared over the past year), and the Mazda dealer we bought it at has handled the service on the car for 7 years. I really figured we were going to have to buy private market at the price point we were at in this market.

                Nice car, good car, good looking car. We have Lauren’s old 2010 Camry as our second car. 145k, runs like new. It was MFR’s company car that we bought out. Expect it will be a second car as long as we need one. We don’t put 1,000 miles a year on it.

                    Pretty slick ride for a 19-year-old.

                      A good car for a college kid.

                        Very nice. Should last a long time and be maintenance/trouble free.

                        I've always had a fondness for Mazdas. They're just different enough from Toyotas and Hondas to make them interesting.

                        ETA: Might wanna blur out the license plate, because I'm paranoid.
