Mazda 6 syempre.

Although if it were me, I'd go all the way and get the Mazdaspeed 6. :D

Obviously, these cars aren't going to be thrown around a track. Handling isn't going to be that big a concern. By the time the Mazda 6 shows it advantage, its driver would probably be sitting in jail for reckless driving.

Price no object*, I'd go for the Camry. The whole idea of going for a midsize car is roominess and comfort. The Camry certainly has the edge in those areas.

On the other hand, the Mazda 6 costs much less than a Camry. That big chunk of change simply can't be ignored. It can be put in the bank or used for other things.

I tend to lean towards saving money and bang for the buck.... MAZDA 6 for me.

*should be prices are equal.

The Legacy is a bit slow because of the AWD. (A bit, not really that bad).

The Mazda6 over the Camry 2.4, any time. The main attraction of the Camry is power and space, but I'm not the type to sit in the back seat.

Of course not. You're the chaffeur.

Now, how about say... your in-laws. They'll appreciate the room in the Camry. But, they'll appreciate money in the bank even more if you opt for the Mazda 6.

The Legacy is a good suggestion, though. How does the Legacy compare to a Mazda 6 or Camry?

Wahaha... obvious, huh?

The local Legacy only comes either with the 165 hp non-turbo 2 liter, in automatic to boot. The sedan version is about 1.5 million. It's a little softer tuned than the Mazda6, and it's slower (due to the aforementioned AWD), but it does drive nicely.

When I got back to my car at the parkng lot, sitting right beside me is this obviously brand new red Mazda 6 and all I can say is WOW, this car sure is really pretty. The red had a glittery pearly effect to it (is this the stock factory paint?)
