Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 08, 2008 7:46 am) It's obvious that Edmunds left out a large number of other midsize V6 sedans so it's a time waster to try and figure out exactly why they left out a particular model. IMO they wanted to get a comparo done quickly with the new Mazda6 and picked a couple of other midsizers that in normal V6 trim are commonly thought to be the "sportiest". Although I really don't think the Accord falls into that category as much anymore. The Camry and the Sonata would have to have the SE trim which is not the standard handling package. To my knowledge, the suspension/handling on the Accord, Altima and Mazda6 are the same throughtout the different trim levels. |

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 09, 2008 8:17 am) To some that is true. I found that the V6 was more fun to drive when I test drove simply because of the extra power. There was a noticeable difference in handling between the I4 and the V6 but I liked the extra power hands down. I was more or less stating that because I didn't want to get flamed by those who also felt the V6 was more fun to drive. But thank you for pointing that out and making it clearer for all.

I love the new Mazda 6. That car is gorgeous, and the handling and power sound right on the money. The outgoing model was a three-run homer, this one is a grand slam! I have owned Camrys, Accords, Luminas, Maximas, Grands Prix, and many other mid-sized sedans too. I love the new Chevy Malibu too. We need an SS version. The Camry is sharp and very attractive. The new Accord is a huge improvement over the looks of the older model. The Altima is great, sports car handling with musclecar speed. I am in love with the new Maxima. The Ford Fusion is a stylish and sporty little car. The mid-sized sedan category just might be the most varied and interesting one in all of new automobiledom. |

I'm a fairly new driver (17) and my parents have agreed to help me pay for a car under $25,000 MSRP I'm interested in buying a 4-door mid-size sedan (which means not a small car like the civic/corolla) so I suppose, realistically, I have this to choose from: Honda Accord Mazda 6 Toyota Camry Ford Fusion Chevy Malibu Dodge Avenger Chrysler Sebring Hyundai Sonata Subaru Legacy Kia Optima Pontiac G6 I was wondering if people on these forums could help me narrow it down to the top 3 based on space, build quality, equipment, safety, value, and driving performance
