Congrats on the new ride!   The new 6 is a nice looking car, enough outside the mid-size mold to make it special out on the road...black on black, classic!   Happy Motoring ahead!

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Congrats. Great choice. Seems like the new gen Mazda 6 fell a bit out of favor in terms of sales which is unfortunate given that it looks by far the best of the midsize family hauler bunch (and probably still handles the best or nearly so, given the extra bloat the Accord has put on).

Congrats, GD, snappy looking ride that your wife selected with only a little help from her friends.

Car wash here we came.  ;)

Congrats. I had a Mazda6 for a rental about a year ago and I came away impressed. Nice Styling, very solid feeling and fun to drive too.

I didn't realize that the Mazda6 was available with a manual tranny. Kinda cool that Mazda still offers a manual on the top level trim.

Nice to see you thinking outside the box. :)

So many nice vehicles available now. The Mazda is certainly one of the nicer, yet it seems to get lost amongst many of the more discussed vehicles. Glad to see you picking a stick also!

Beautiful car, btw!!!

Nice job, those are pretty fun for their size once the standard gearbox is equipped.

Really nice ride - and I always thought it looked by far the best in black.  It'll drive you nuts to keep it clean, but when you get it clean, there's nothing better.  Congrats and happy motoring.

You don't see many of those around...I always thought they were sharp looking.

Likely got a good deal!  I saw that Oakville Mazda has something like $8000 off a new 2010 Miata and $13,000 off a new RX-8.

Very nice, and a fantastic choice with the stick!

Just curious, but would you have chosen the wagon if Mazda still sold them here?

Congrats Jeff.   Good choice that fits your family.

I suppose you could try to "grow" into fitting those North American seats.  ;D
