It was between a Kia Optima and the Mazda 6. Optimas are sweet looking but have the left pull issue that I would not be able to deal with. 6s are also great looking but all the new skyactive technology and prior mazda rust issues had me concerned also. Kia was cheaper and had $1000 cash back. 6 had no cash or financing incentives. It took me several weeks, going back and forth many times to make a decision. After speaking with the service managers at 2 local dealers, I decided on the 6.
2014 sport, with soul red paint. Other cars are white, silver and black...wife wanted a real color. Car is currently on boat being shipped in. Got the floor mats and wheel locks. I wouldn't have gotten them but they were on the car. Paid dealer invoice. Dealer wouldn't budge, but wasn't going to worry about a few $100s. Also, other local dealers are not convenient for me.
I hope I made the right choice for reliability!
Only other items will be mud flaps and a clear bra on the hood.
Looking forward to getting in it.
