If you need to pick up clients a coupe is a no-no. As for mercedes being overpriced pieces of crap...your beloved bmw and audi are truly no better in terms of price or attitude. I've If you want something from the far east, try hyundais new genesis sedan. Looks good, competes with lexus...

Well, I had this whole long thing written out, but then the fourm decided i was logged off...so no go there. Anyways, tested out 3 MS6's, the best one was the silver one. Just felt better, rode better, and had a better price

New C-Class from MB...my mom just picked up a 2010 E350 4matic a few months ago...by far and away the nicest car I've ever sat/ridden in. Seriously. You can find them with a 6 speed manual, V6, and you can find them with 4motion as well. If you want to go to Europe, don't forget MB :D

Nope...I've been driving for about 6 years now...its still fun :)

How not to...live in CA? Good old MN doesn't even care if you have cats on :D

Oh, I'm more than willing to stick with my cobalt for a while, I'd just like something larger with a little more guts...and 4 doors...and awd... The red one is fantastic mileage...but (this may sound silly) I really want leather interior. Where I work now (farm) is pretty dusty, and cloth...

Ahh. So the random backroad bomb or the unlikely autox shouldn't cause them to shear....good to know. Any other serious rear end issues to look for?

Lol. That's what I'm leaning towards...use the silver one as leverage in negotiations maybe? Ill be checking them out tomorrow or Friday.

I've been reading about the rear diff bolts tending to shear or break or simply come loose, and that it seems to be quite a chore to replace or repair them yourself. Is there anywhere that has some photos of this? Or any info on what grade bolt Mazda uses from the factory?

Hell, i'd keep that sticker :D Nice pick up!

Thanks guys. I'll try to be checking out some of them this week possibly...I've pretty much made up my mind that if I'm going to get something, an MS6 is it.

Well, actually is an I4, not a V4...although Honda did make some very interesting motorcycles with V4 engines. And remember, not matter what they tell you...there is no such thing as "blinker fluid", and you do not have a "muffler bearing". (flash)

ZOMG. GURL!!! Welcome to the board.

Thanks blu, sorry I couldn't help you out. Ill definatly let you all know. I'm pretty confident ill be getting one, but who really knows.

I do like the red one as one of my top choices...however they want $17,900, and they are a no-haggle dealership, plus i have a trade...and I'll probably be "underwater" on that trade as it is, all the others allow to fight for a better price, but I guess seeing them in person is the best way of...
