Hey guys, so after many months of searching for a good used car I've narrowed down the choice to Mazda 6 2018, 2.5 Litre and Honda Accord 2018 1.5 Litre. Both come with automatic transmissions, good condition and sub-60k miles. What are your thoughts, which is a better pick in terms of comfort and reliability? Thanks in advance!
P.S. For those who helped me with advice about Crown Vic a few months ago, unfortunately it turned out to be very damaged when I checked it at the mechanic's, so I dodged an endless money pit.
If a mechanic gives you a go ahead, go Mazda 6 on this one.
Thanks, I'm kinda leaning towards Mazda 6 to be honest. The turbo on 1.5 Accord scares me off a bit, although I think Scotty did mention in one of his videos, that he never seen any of them break.
That’s true, but that 1.5L may be prone to oil dilution problems too. For peace of mind, I’d pick the NA Mazda 6 on this one. @mod_man ‘s 2.0T Accord seems to not have any major problems regarding this issue, but his is a newer 2020 model.
Oh, got it. Thanks for helping me again!
@InThrustWeTrust Indeed I'm not seeing any issues at 45k miles on my 2.0T. I have heard the 2.0's have less problems, by a significant margin, than the 1.5's, but I can neither confirm nor deny that. It's just rumor at this point.
Thanks Mod_Man!
You are fine with either one, pick the one you like best
