[Turkododo]

i am currently seeking to purchase a new 2014 midsized sedan. what do you guys recommend? Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mazada 6, Nissan Altima, Volkswagen Passat, Kia Optima? I am trying to narrow down my choices and go from there.

I bought a Subaru Crosstrek last year and I love it. I was also looking at the Mazda Speed6's.

i'm looking at the crosstek/impreza hatch for my wife how do you like it?

to OP:

i test drove a bunch of those and I liked the altima the best. Definitely had the best "feel" IMO. I love the CVT tranny. People wanna hate on it but it's the future. It's excellent. Constant power when you need it and no hunting for gears.

I also abuse the sh*t out of cars becuase of my job, i've put 40k miles on it in under 2 years. No issues.

I have a 2014 accord. It is spacious, smooth and a very comfortable ride. It looks really nice now too. So far, I am really enjoying it and it was affordable

1) Accord

2) new model Sonata

3) Camry

4) Altima


Accord resale value/demand is tops from what i've seen.

i think people got jilted with Toyota a little bit with those brake issues they had.

still, very quality, practical cars.

Honestly its hard to make a choice for someone else especially if all things being equal not a lot separates them:

I have 2 friends that just bought the Mazda 6. Its a great sporty ride. 1 bought something slightly above base model the other fully loaded leather roof bose... Definitely fully loaded is the way to go.

Camry is economical still a moms car very loose ride.

Accord is economical somewhere between the Camry and Mazda.

If you go Hybrid I would take the Accord.

Sonata.

[BrooklynZoo]

Honda Accord and Nissan Altima if you want reliability and plan on having it a long long time. Toyota Camry and VW Passat if you want luxury and comfort

camry is luxurious? i havent been in the new camry but the interior of toyotas generally feel pretty cheap.

i say go with the accord

[Godzuki]

Anyone see the new Camry commercial attacking Accord?

[arkain]

Don't Maximas fall in the same category? I'd go for that or a Mazda 6.

mazda may be more popular in Europe, i don't know. To me its more niche here in America....definitely not as common or as loved as the main make/model cars like Camry or Accord.....i also feel like Hyundai has really gained a lot of consumer confidence with the new Sonata and consistent, gradual improvement in their cars over the last decade to really be on that Toyota/Honda level these days.

i mean theres a lot of MAzda's out there but i don't feel consumer confidence in them is on the same level.

it's probably going to depend on how many miles you're going to end up putting on your car.

if it's a lot per year, I probably recommend Sonata/Optima since your resale value won't be that great.

the next one would be Ford Fusion, because with technolodgy, you never know how the resell value may pan out years from now.

and if not a lot, probably the rest, because their resell value, or if you want to hand it to a relative 5-10 years from now
