#4 of 8 Audi A4 replacement: Mazda6 or Mazda3 and which engine by leftfrank Mar 30, 2007 (7:15 pm)
There's no generic Mazda group so I'm posting this in both the Mazda6 and Mazda3 groups.   The lease on my 2004 A4 1.8T quattro 6M is coming to its end next month, and I'm looking at Mazdas to replace it (can't spend that much again).   But I can't decide which would be the closest replacement: -Mazda3 2.3 hatch (trunk is way too small for me). -Mazda6 2.3 sedan or hatch -Mazda6 3.0 sedan or hatch And which level: sport, value edition, touring, etc. For example, would the 4 cylinder on the Mazda6 be sufficient to match the performance of the Audi, or would the 6 cylinder be better?   Mostly, the comparison should be for interior dimensions/comfort, and engine/transmission performance.   I was looking at an Accord, and although its "nice", I just can't see me driving it - I'd prefer something a little different and with that, you know, zoom-zoom. Any help would be appreciated.   Frank Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Mar 31, 2007 5:15 am)

This puts a turbo on the 4 cyl. It also only comes in manual transmission and has AWD.   The 4 cyl Mazda6 works for me, but not sure it would seem adequate to one who is used to a faster car.
#6 of 8 Mazda3 vs Mazda6 vs Audi A4 by waygrabow Apr 01, 2007 (7:55 am)
I used to own a Mazda3S MT; loved it. Great handling and gas mileage (it averaged 35 mpg). I then bought a Mazdaspeed6 and sold the Mazda3 (with 35K miles on it). The main reason I bought the Speed6 was the AWD, but it is also simply more car; many added features. We also own an Audi A4 1.8 quattro AT. The Audi has 46K miles and has had absolutely no problens. We really enjoy the handling of the Audi and Mazdas; definitely superior to most cars. From my experience, all three are good choices. It depends on your priorities and the details of features and price for each car.
