But the car I drove that I really fell in love with was the Mazda 6. I know several people that have Mazda's and love them my sister being one of them. It's basically the same car as the Altima. Right now the 6 is likely my choice.

The ony potential issue may be that you have to stick to their maintenance schedule and get your car serviced or it voids the warranty. However, you should be getting regular oil changes/inspections anyway
