Suzuki?

I already have the car, but the Mazda ad for the 2016 Mazda6 featuring the music of my all-time favorite vocalist (Patsy Cline) was epic.

This. My wife is an example of this. She wanted a three-row SUV. I begged for a Mazda CX-9 as it is basically my Mazda6 (which I love) but with a third row. Big nope. Wife hated that it felt “too much like a car.” The handling and driving dynamics meant zilch to her.

Exactly! Thanks. :)

I’ve posted it before but I will again. I have a 1990 Pontiac Sunbird LE coupe that is my “forever car.” And yes, I know it’s a piece of junk and I know I’m crazy, but I love it. It is Torch Red over gray cloth and all original with 60,400 miles. Never seen winter and rarely seen rain. I bought it in August 2018 from…

Yep. We just got a letter in the mail from the dealer where we bought our 2019 SUV new. They almost flat-out begged to buy it back.

Bill’s red Dodge Ram gets all the attention in my favorite movie, but Jo’s yellow Jeep pickup is my favorite.

Hooray! My J-Body submission made it. Not that I have a 3rd bay of my garage dedicated to mine or anything. O_o

The GM J-body. 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen. Don’t care. Love them all for the little tin cans they are. Mine has been oddly lovingly cared for in its 31 years of life and I’ve continued that. It’s slow, old, shoddily built and somehow still…fun.

Mazda6.

I was/am exaggerating, but my point is that with 100 miles of range to start with, there’s not much wiggle room for battery degradation before it becomes unusable.

Didn’t all the Kona Electrics get recalled recently?

It’ll also have a degraded battery with a range of 50 miles by then.

I’m a dedicated Mazda fanboy (I’ve owned three counting the 2016 Mazda6 I have now). And I love the way this looks. I was excited about it at first.

Yes! It was very quick for a mid-90s SUV. Of course, it absolutely DRANK gas - especially the way my mom drove it.

I didn’t realize these were going for these prices now. I guess most of them have been used up and junked by now, though.

Neutral: I like driving, but only in certain scenarios (not on crowded interstates). I love back country roads and drives at dusk in the middle of nowhere with some good music playing.

Same. I go through the touchless one in the winter for the undercarriage wash, but that’s all.

Damn.

I wasn’t aware of any major issues with the 6s which is why I suggested them. They’re usually cheaper than the Fusions due to being less known about. Plus, it’s going to be a kid/teen’s car so it’ll end up trashed anyway.
