'16 Accord Sport or Mazda 6 Touring? Both manual
As the title states, I've narrowed my choices down to the 2016 Mazda 6 Touring manual and the 2016 Honda Accord Sport manual. I've already read all the reviews and browsed each car's respective forum (will also be posting this in both places) so now I'm looking for reviews from people who chose the Sport over the 6 and why? Please keep everything as objective as possible. Would really love to hear from someone who was also looking at both. I'll being using it as a daily and want something reliable, well-built, yet not completely numb to drive (hence the manual only requirement). Thanks in advance!

Hello, Tyler... welcome to the forum
This past February, I was shopping for a new car. I looked at Mazda, Honda and Hyundai.. all three dealerships were within 3 blocks of each other, so comparison was fairly easy; of the three vehicles I test drove, the Hyundai offered more features for the same price, but the Mazda was 'sportier'. After having retired from trucking, a manual transmission was never a consideration as I'm happy to let the car do the shifting. I selected the Honda (EX-L V6) for 3 reasons: Honda offered me a much better finance rate, the V6 had more power and faster acceleration than the 4 cyl in the other cars, and the sales staff at Honda were friendlier... just a bit more 'down home'. I will admit though, the Mazda 6 Touring that I test drove seemed to be a terrific auto with more of a 'fun factor' than the Honda or Hyundai. Bottom line: it's your money. Only you can make the final decision |

Thanks for the reply! I'll be test driving both back to back today so we'll see how it goes.
May I suggest that (which ever you drive first) you take that car to the opposing dealership... look at the two choices side-by-side... Not only will you get a visual comparison, but (and the main reason) you let the dealerships know that you are a serious shopper... both dealers are going to want your business.. and that will be to your advantage |
Great advice! They are a few miles apart and being that I'm younger I'm not sure they will hand the keys over without a salesman ride along. Worth a shot though thanks again!
