This

and this

The 200 was a really nice car. I was impressed actually. But then I drove it and it was just alright. The transmission could have shifted smoother, and the steering was totally numb. Other than that it was a great car!

The Mazda6 was much better to drive. Muuuuch better. It was actually kinda fun-ish. Like I expected. Anyway my mom thought the same thing so she likes the Mazda6 more.

So, the 6 we drove was driven by the dealer owner's wife for a little while and because of that it had a good discount, and was a top of the line Grand Touring too. My mom might actually get it. Maybe. I hope. Sometime soon.

We are replacing our minivan and our Expedition. The minivan will get replaced with the 6 ,if we get it, and the Expedition will be replaced with a used Tahoe with low-ish miles, for road trips and to tow our boat.

Have you (biased) considered Fusion?

I tried Fusion, but the wife said I looked better with a beard so I said to heck with it.

My mom scoffs at the name. She says she couldn't see herself driving a "Ford Fusion". I know it's a silly reason but if she'll take a Mazda6 over it I'm fine with that. Although now she's leaning back towards a minivan because I left her alone for a few hours. No, bad mom, no minivans! They don't even have the features you want, cmon.

;_;

I hate it when they don't even consider it without looking at it in person.

Well she also doesn't like the way it looks. So, I'll give her that at least.

And now my dad is saying "we'll wait a while longer before making a decision"

HE ALWAYS DOES THIS WITH THINGS.

Speaker systems, cars, furniture, TVs, anything that costs more than 20 bucks.

And it's not like we'll wait a while and then get something, it's more like we'll wait a while and then bring it up again and he'll say it's a dumb idea and then we'll never get anything.

C'MON DAD
