if you want a good deal, you will probably have to wait until cash for clunkers is over with. I would say buy at the end of September or October would be better.

I'm thinking of buying a 09 i Touring w/ automatic and convenience package. Do you think $20,700 before TTL is a good price?
 
Secondly, my current car (Accord) has been so problem-free I feel spoiled by it. In 8 years it has needed only 1 unscheduled repair, and it remains rattle-free to this day. Am I going to be disappointed by the Mazda6's reliability, fit and finish given this experience?

There are 3 ways you can use your iPod with a Mazda6,
 
1) Opt for the ipod dock. This addon is a built-in USB interface that will display song/artist titles on the radio display when playing ipod music.
2) A headphone mini jack inside middle console. Just need a mini to mini cord, works with any MP3 player, but doesnt display song titles.
3) Bluetooth. If you have a bluetooth-enabled MP3 Player, opt for bluetooth in the car. The Mazda6 supports wirelessly streaming music to the radio and display song/artist titles on the radio display besides hands-free phone use.
 
FWIW, I use option 3 with my iphone rather than getting the dock and have been pretty happy about it.

I've owned 2 Honda Accords (89 Lxi, 02 SE). i thought the 6i Touring was a nice sporty change vs the 09 Accord. I bought it in February and I think i made a mistake. i've had two mechanical issues so far. The right front bumper kept popping off and the alarm kept defaulting to valet. now, after 10,000 miles, the check engine light just came on. I've only had two oil changes since. what a mess. you will not get the reliability that you've grown accustomed with a Honda.

I have had my 09 6s GT for a year now (13K miles) and I haven't had any such problems so far. Of course it's too early to compare to our camry we had for about 10 years. The camry had pretty much no issues for about 7-8 years, except for the stupid check engine light that kept coming on and off which we ignored. But the drive was so mind numbing to me (my wife didn't mind it) I was pretty much waiting for the day to get rid off the camry. Now I enjoy my Mazda6 everyday, I'm impressed at how well it handles for a midsize/large family sedan at this price point. The more aggressive I drive it the more I enjoy it. BTW, I recently drove my friend's 09 accord, definitely better driving experience than the camry but no where close to the Mazda6.
Regarding sheer reliability - only time will tell for me. I doubt it will be as reliable as the camry, but as long as it's just one or two minor things here and there I would take the Mazda6 absolutely anyday compared to a camry or accord.

I have had the Mazda 6i GT with Bose + Nav. ($32k after taxes and all fees) since 11-29-08, it now has 7500 miles and has been great.
 
I had not had any real problem till this week:
 
 - Hear a slight squeek from my serp. belt, when shift is on D.
 - My front left shock also has developed a squeek. (Once and a while when getting off the car - I weight 200 lbs.)
 - My A/C is not working.
 
I haven't been able to take the car in since I will be needing it for the next 3 weeks. Aside from that the car has been great, crazy the pull you get from this 4 cyl engine.

What is the highest number that you've cranked the Bose volume up to?
 
I had it at 25 and wasnt sure how far it goes up. Anyone know off the top of their heads? I read the owner's manual but it didnt say.
