Used 2010 Mazda MAZDA6 i Touring for Sale near New Bern, NC

Having switched from a Hyundai Sonata that basically fell apart at 100,000 miles, I went for a 2010 Mazda6 iTouring. I haven't looked back. My daughter has a 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback and loves it. I can see why. Except for a bit of acceleration sluggishness due to a 4 cylinder engine (170hp)but a lot better than the Sonata (130hp) (I should have gone for the 6, but I wanted the gas mileage instead of acceleration), the M6 excels in all other areas. I like the styling, moderately sporty, but since it's a new 2010, I can't really comment on reliability and repairs. Road worthiness is great. It's a pretty quiet ride, and smooths out most bumps. Given that I drive mostly in or around the city (bad DC traffic), I've been tracking my gas mileage and have stayed steady at 25mpg for the past 8 months. On the open road, I'm getting 32-33mpg. Not bad for a mid-size. Two features that I really liked were the built-in Bluetooth, and the Blind Spot Monitoring. The latter has saved me more than a few times from moving into a lane I shouldn't have. Put this car on your short list. I compared it to the Camry and the Accord and it still worked for me.

Performance: Quick, good handling, smooth shifter, easy clutch Build Quality: Had it for just under 6 months and no problems yet Appearance: Smooth, yet aggressive exterior, clean, focused interior Cost of Ownership: Decent gas mileage, aside from an oil change, no maintence needed Fun Factor: Hell yea.
