well, I did a little research on Mazda (C/Report and known local mechanics) and they said, the past few years, Mazda has improve a lot and still improving but not close to other Japanese car..so the other mechanic are short of saying, it's like the new GTO, best bang for the buck but....still Pontiac w/c is sloooowly improving.
yah, right now..pocketbook and family dictates Mazda 6 w/c is fine but will hold out till she turns 21 and Mini Club S price go down
