Okay maybe not so little I think the car is still taller than me but I finally got my new/used car! It’s a used 2015 Mazda 6 I touring with less than 11k miles and saved myself a few thousand dollars by buying used.

The biggest difference so far is getting to have all the cool gadgets and what not. My previous car was a hand me down 97 Camry so this thing is amazing. Also I can now take turns faster than my Camry would allow and be comfortable with it. I now see what they mean by Mazdas being good driver’s cars.

And no I didn't park the car. Plus the lot was fairly empty and privately owned.

How short are you if this is taller?

Great choice! Welcome to the Mazda family!

I have a 2003 6,y wife has an '07, and I had 2 626s before as my first two cars. They're great vehicles.

That's my favorite new car right now. I am so in love with them. Every time I see one, I just stare like a creeper. I want one so damn badly. Even if I won the lottery, I'd still buy one of those. That's how much I love them. Congrats!

Congratulations. Enjoy the car as much as possible.

Did that autocheck report perhaps sway you to make this purchase?

Excellent choice, that was the most fun new car I’ve driven.

Not to mention the styling...

If the Mazda6 Wagon comes with a manual, I will probably own one someday.

Same here! Every time I saw one on the road I would look at it like if I was seeing a Ferrari. In which the area I run my errands the ratio of Ferrari to Mazda 6 is pretty dead even. In a almost see them every time way.

Awesome! Welcome to the family! (I don’t have one but I’ve got two in the family!) you’ll love it. Especially when you fill up for the first time and realize it’s easy to get 30 mpg. And had fun doing it!

Okay it’s not taller. I just looked it up but I’m only 60’’ and the car is 57.1’’. But I am a female.

Thank you! I come from a Toyota family and I was shocked that my parents liked it so much.

No. That car when I got there was sold 2 hours ago. Which sucked because it took me almost an hour to get there but I ended up going to another dealership and found this one. Negotiated for a couple of hours and didn't end up leaving until 1 am. But thank you for the auto check!

That absolutely sucks. Is this car exactly the same as the other though? (color, options, etc.)

You’re certainly welcome.

Mmm those things look good. May I ask why you didn’t want a Mazda 3 or 2? The 6 is a family car and from your previous posts, I can see you’re a college student.

Congrats on the new car and great choice! Now it’s time to get Zoom Zoomin’ and get yourself over to your local autocross/solo to learn how your car handles :) http://motorsportsreg.com/

Congrats! I’ve got a 2010 Mazda6. They really are good cars.

Well you can't see over it (I'm guessing) so it would seem taller. Regardless congratulations.

Excellent choice, I would get this car (manual of course) if I had the money.

you made the right diction a girl can ever do!

Cheers love your car.

Well it was 2014 blue for the other one and 2015 grey for this one. Same trim and options. 2014 had less miles and was 3k less. But honestly I prefer the grey over the blue

I am absolutely looking forward to that. I haven’t had that fuel efficient of a car in a while. Now I just want to drive everywhere.

Well months ago when we were considering another car I had my eyes set on a 3. I liked it my parents not so much it was a bit tight in the back for them. Several other options later I said what about a 6 it pretty much was everything they wanted and most of what I wanted. Plus it seems to be just as fuel efficient as the 3s so that is nice. But yeah I am a transferring college student with only 2 years left and this vehicle makes more sense if I or the family keep it long term as we usually do with new cars.

Thank you! I already love it so much so that everytime I walk by the garage I open the door just to see it in there and close it again.

Congrats! But whoa 1 AM? Why so late?

Waited for my brother to get out of work then drove to the first dealership and then the second. Got to that dealership at almost 9, checked out that car for an hour and negotiated for like 1.5 hours and then paperwork for almost an hour because my brother likes to talk. There were a few other people almost as late as is but we were the last to leave

Damn that's nuts but at least you got something great out of it !

I love the new Mazda 6, such a good looking car. Nice choice! Manual? My dealership had a touring trim with a manual, and I was so tempted to check it out.

No. As much as I would love to save the manuals it's an auto. I'm going to be driving it to school and in LA it's always stop and go traffic. It would be too much of a hassle and I would need to properly learn how to drive one first.
