Replying to: mchang (Jul 18, 2007 5:21 pm) And yes, I own a 03 3.5SE (auto) 25-26 mpg overall, 75k, and never been back to the dealer for anything - the way it should be. EXCEPT for some collison repairs after my wife got rearended - which is how I found out about the resale values, the darn insurance co. wouldn't total it because THEY thought it was still worth substantially more than the $11k it took to fix it. The wife, of course, had her heart set on a new 07 model at the time and STILL DOES even though they did a good job on the repairs. Somehow, I think I'm going to lose this battle - again!  I did get a chance to drive the new 08, found that the interior quality/fit & finish had improved tremendously - thought the CVTs behavior was a bit disconcerting, although I know she would love it - it is smoooooth. MTXs, of course, in big city traffic, out of the question for her and me. |

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 boy, that is a tough one. If its performance you want, I'd have to go with the altima. Gotta love that VQ. But, if your primary concern is price, you'd almost deffinitly get the 6 either for less, or same with more options.

Replying to: jd10013 (Jul 19, 2007 3:24 pm) I would definitely reverse that. For performance I would go for the AWD/Turbo. It runs like a mild mannered grocery getter until you get into boost, and then you feel yourself getting pressed into the seatback mmm. |

I am torn between these 2 cars and looking for input. They are both approx $24k plus tax, tag and title. 2007 Altima 3.5SE manual 2007 Mazdaspeed6 Sport manual **** You could also look at the Subaru WRX TR. Cars Direct has them for about 22.5K as well, and it's a much better choice than either of those two, IMO. That also leaves enogh room to get a couple of handling and interior goodies thrown in and still be under $24K. #2 of course is my favorite, the RX-8. It's the best car for $24K than you can get aside from *maybe* the WRX. Loads of fun and still pretty decent for commuting - it won't beat you up like a 350Z or Mustang. $24,271 including delivery via cars direct(Pasadena, CA). that is for a base model with the performance package - limited slip, foglights, and stability control. Other options? - maybe get a spoiler thrown in. The car is pretty well equipped as it is.
