Replying to: mchang (Jul 18, 2007 5:21 pm) They are both approx $24k plus tax, tag and title. 2007 Altima 3.5SE manual 2007 Mazdaspeed6 Sport manual comments? can i get better deals on either of these cars? Oh mannnn I so want a MazdaSpeed6. But alas, the features and content of the Altima 3.5SE are probably considerably more than that of the "spartan(?)" MazdaSpeed sport. After comparing a bit, maybe I take that back, the sunroof, leather, heated seats, etc are optional on both, and the MS6 actually come standard with the HID and Bose, while the Altima makes you kick down for it. |

Replying to: batista (Jul 18, 2007 8:56 pm) I had an Intrigue with the 3.5L. It WAS a good car--fun to drive, very good powertrain, nice features. It just didn't hold up well. The Maxx is also pretty well designed--there is an amazing amount of room in it, its very useful, fuel efficient and a good value. Again, durability is a problem--particularly the brakes. But we'll be holding on to that car for a while--it only has 26k. My point here though is that you can't have a discussion about these cars without considering the history of their manufacturer. Some have more to prove than others. And btw--overall first year reliability of the Camry has been above average. And I'm willing to bet it will be for the Accord too. The Fusion has been a pleasant surprise, but I'd still want to see data from the next couple of years before being completely confident. I'd be probably be a little more predisposed to like the Fusion if not for those ridiculous, inaccurate, unethical "challenge" ads they show in which they compare to a loaded Fusion to a stripped 4 cyl Camry and Accord and then claim that the Fusion "wins." Yeah, no kidding.

Replying to: mfletou1 (Jul 19, 2007 7:14 am) I'm only going to point out that the test was between fully loaded top of the line V6 models, not stripped 4 cylinders. The Accord and Camry had stability control while the Fusion had AWD for the same price. That was the only difference. |

Replying to: tjc78 (Jul 19, 2007 7:48 am) I consider that to be a positive, not a negative.
