Naw. The accord was a good one. I was curious what’s out there in the used market like merc, bmw or Lexus. I don’t know them well enough. They like to put turbos on everything.

I must admit, driving Beth's BMW is nice. Super comfortable for long drives for sure. She has a 4 series though, not sure if the 3 series has more space in the back seat because I wouldn't sit in the back of the 4!

The Accord is supposedly fun to drive but my gosh it is ugly.

Mazda6 with the turbo engine maybe?

I don’t think it’s great looking but I wouldn’t go as far as ugly.

Mazda6....that’s that hatch thing isn’t it. You love hatches. I never got into those for some reason.

I think a 5 series bmw is a good line between total grown up with responsibilities and this car will put run your car. They still run the strait 6 with the compound turbo set ups? Any v8 options?

Ohhh. Good call. That one had little more miles but for that price you could find everything that fit the bill. I don’t know if I’m getting older or caddy is getting more sporty cars but a caddy is what my dad drives.....kind of worries me. Lol.

Serious question though....how reliable are they? Would you daily one and that be your only thing?

But also isn’t the 65 a 2 door and the 63 a 4 door? I get a little of their stuff confused.

This is a Mazda6. Not a hatch.

Still stand by the Wranger. Will have more fun on and off road. Top on or top off. Stock ones drive great, and you can Overland if fancy it.

I am corrected. My bad.

Something I’ve struggled with is what is riding a line on vehicles. I would love a wrx, but something about that just says not grown up....I almost feel the same way about a lot of Mazda’s. I will say Mazda’s have stepped it up the last few years though. They look way better than the protege era. Lol.

Something is wrong with you. Those are slow and 95% mall crawlers. That’s because so very few want to take their over priced vehicle where it can get scratched and broke.

I think jeeps are like boats, a blast when you are using them for their purpose, pointless all other times.

Apparently they are more sporty now, but I still see them as old men cars.

I know what you mean. Mazda has come a long way in interiors and refinement, while maintaining some of the fun to drive stuff. Their new 6 is actually surprisingly nice (although it is due for a refresh soon), the new 3 is nice as well but not the fun hatch it was as a Mazdaspeed3. Have a couple of friends with the CX5 who really like them.

A Wrangler is not a nice, adult family car by a long shot and a horrible drive long distance - even the newer one which is better. It is also not a car

Edit: Caddy has come a long way. My generation CTS was sort of the beginning, and it has gotten better with each model since then. ATS-V would be a really really nice car that is adult yet fun.

Well there goes 4x4 and lockers, and the best 4 seasons rig...

To be fair they made a Mazda 6 hatchback at one point.

Nope. First letter is the vehicle (s being the big 4 door luxobarge) numbers are loosely based on engine displacement.

Okay but you easily left out the first part of that post. Lol.

My wrx was perfect in this regard.

My Legacy was too, just the back seats were on the tight side.
