I'd be worried about reliability. I know they have a longish warranty, but warranty != reliability.
Why not a Honda or Toyota? |

Thinking of getting the 2.0T Sport for my wife's daily driver. She has a 30 mile roundtrip daily commute and the value for what you get seems pretty good. Curious about other people's experience with this car Mazda 6 38mpg highway.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd be worried about reliability. I've owned a 03 Hyundai Elantra GT, a 08 Sonata, and I just traded in my 12 Kia Soul. Every single one of them have been nothing but reliable. I put 100k on each of them in 3 years time, and the only problem I ever had was a dead battery that was covered under warranty. If I didn't buy a 2015 Forester, I was going to get another Kia.

The sales person actually told me I should buy aftermarket tires to lessen the noice. |

I used to hate Hyundais, and when my old man started buying them for my moms car, I would break his chops incessantly. I don't anymore. They are nice cars, and as reliable as any Honda or Toyota. |

Also the tire size (varies by trim) can also have an impact on the noise generated. Also based on comparison tests, the 6 has comparable highway noise levels (70mph) to its competition. |

Coworker of mine has a 2012 Sonata with the 2.0T. He loves the thing and he gets 35+ mpg with it. But it has been back to the dealership two or three times for repairs (covered under warranty).
Only repair I remember is that it was leaking oil somewhere. |

The days of Honda and Toyota dominating the sedan market are passing/past. They both have slipped hard in the reliability ratings, and frankly are way behind in style/value/fun categories. OP, I really like Mazda, along with Hyundai and Kia. |

There's no magic here, hondas/toyotas have man-made parts and those parts can fail. I've had my accord almost leave me stranded twice now in a year period, luckily I know cars better then the average person to get back on the road. |
