All highway in the cavalier.

Yup bought the mazda 6 last night hope to pick it up thursday morning. I showed my wife both cars she really liked the mazda so we decided to get it . The car comes with alot of standard features which was one of the deciding factors.

Maybe its a hoax and maybe its not but how did the guy kill the brakes or as toyota puts it they were spent if the sytem is suposed to shut down if the accelerator and the brakes are both pressed all the way down. For the same reason you said my wife would like a car that you can put an adult in the back with the 2 kids car seats which is too small in the prius. My 1994 cavalier 5 speed has gotten 39 mpg highway which is awesome so i still have a car that is great on gas. Im going with my wife to look at the Mazda 6 tommorow and if she likes it im buying it.

I hear what your saying and we are trying to be rational but I dont think toyota knows whats wrong. There was a recall to remove the floor mat which had nothing wrong with it I think it was just to buy time. I cant blame my wife for not wanting to drive it alone or with my kids. I know I will lose money but we need a car that we will both drive and my sanity back.

My wife wont even drive the car with all the bad press going on about the prius. I cant make her drive the car so goodbye. I think im down to 2 choices now the Fusion SE or the Mazda6 which is what I think were getting if all goes well with the trade in. The mazda is such a great deal for what you get and it looks great.

I dont think the FFH is overpriced I do understand it costs more to make im just having a hard time with the $6000 differece between the SE and the FFH wich would take forever to break even . The only thing I can think of is that the Hybrid will have a better resale value wich will probably cut the difference in half.

Im trading in my prius and Im having a hard time justifying the cost of the FFH. I drove one yesterday and it was awesome so much nicer than the prius. The lowest im seeing is like $28000 and Im thinking of just getting an 4cyl SE model instead. The prius was cheaper when I bought it and I understand its a smaler car. Any help would be great sorry to ramble. It also pisses me off that you cant get the 0% finacing on the hybrid also PS my wife wants a Subaru outback which is a really nice car but more expensive
