I’m normally against buying new, but since I have to wrap the last little bit of the payoff for the Monte into a new loan I’m looking for new...

I just wanted to get the advice of the forums…I’m looking at a Mazda (3 or 6), because a local dealership has 2010 models still (sold as new) and I would have more money to play with…while keeping a new interest rate..

Opinions? Advice?

Nothing wrong with them except that sarcastic grin it always has. lol

Good luck and happy shopping.

Use cars.com to find more new 2010s and 11's.

I know you can probably geat a great deal on a new 2011 Focus with the new 2012's coming in. I prefer them over the 3.

If you are looking for fuel efficiency I would go for the 3 over the 6. Im sure with the 3 being smaller and still using the same 4 cylinder that the 6 does, it will get better MPG. Mazdas are NICE cars. They are really sporty and fun to drive. Definately one of the better imports. Would take one over a honda or toyota any day.

Yes you can. Same thing with the Fusions. Either are nice.

thanks guys for your advice, i think i decided on the Mazda3! the question now is which variation.

the dealershp has a few models, but im torn on if i should get a hatchback or not.

Thoughts?
