MS6 are being given away to clear showroom floor.

I'm looking at price range 20-25k and Camry and Accord are out of the picture since we want to own something other than those two brands.

My choice is Mazda 6 right now (i get to influence heavily because my parents are carefree about cars as long as they run well). What cars would you choose?

The reason I like Mazda 6 is because after Toyota and Honda, Mazda is the company I like as a car manufacturer and price range limits a lot of other imports as we are looking forward for another purchase within 2 years.

I'd appreciate if you can broaden my choice a bit because I tend to fall in love with certain cars in hasty manner.
On the 2002TL-S the warranty on the tranny was extended to 100k miles. Don't know about the 2003 but it might be something to check out with Acura if you are under 100k miles. Sometimes they will fix stuff even if the warranty doesn't technically cover it- if you ask.

LISTEN to suzukaboy!!! I had an acura 01 CL-S...Trans failed twice before 40k miles!!! needless to say it is what i traded in to get my S...

the warranty is extended to 100k, i know from experience, also even beyond that i bet if you fight it!!! those transmissions (auto's) were a joke, so many horror stories and now permanent fix, seriously contact Acura rep!!!!! get the trans fixed and sell the car or trade it
