Thinking about buying a new car...


Hey guys, I just graduated from college (yay me!) and I need a new ride. I've narrowed my choices down to the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and the Mazda 6. I was wondering what you guys thought about these cars (pros and cons) and what you would get and why. Thanks for the help.

If you want performance and looks.. but don't need something as "luxurious or comfortable" as an accord (large rear seats, ride, basically the boring part of a car) go for a Subaru WRX; '04-'05 models go for about 19k if you look good enough.

Otherwise; any of those will do fine.

Lets say you were tight on budget and wanted to get a car thats on the bottom line in luxury and performance. The Mazda 6, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord have horsepowers of 160. So if thats the given, the price and style is what should be considered. From my point of view, i think the Mazda 6 has the most unique design out of the three and steps away from the typical family car...a much more sporty look to it. Now as price goes, the Mazda 6 starts at $19,555. The Honda Accord starts at $16,295.00, and the Toyota Camry starts at $18,195.

For the Mazda 6 your gonna pay around $122 for each horsie under the hood...
For the Toyota your gonn pay around $113.......
and for the Honda your gonna pay $101............

The Mazda is undoubtley the priciest car but has the best style (in my own opinion). The Honda is the best on your wallet kind of car and the Toyota....well your paying for the reliability and the demand Toyota established with the Camry models.

If you really lean towards style and you're able to throw up an extra 1k-2k then get the 6. But if your looking for the wallet saver but still a great car then the Honda. I'll just forget about the Toyota because im biased towards it.....hate seeing them because they're all over the place..

Lets just say the mazda 6 looks good but its overpriced. And the place will be crawling with them soon. Toyota has that name for quality,resale and reliability. With honda, you get the best bang for the buck. And watch for the v6 6 speed model. Those are fast running 14.5's in the 1/4 faster than my friends mk 3 turbo supra.

The Accord 2-door coupe is really nice. Looks like a Mercedes CLK to me.
