The last car I purchase was a 2013 Mazda 6. I had previously owned two other Mazdas and am generally a fan of their brand. My favorite car of theirs was a Mazda 3 I owned, which was unfortunately totaled prematurely. While the Mazda 6 is a solid car, it doesn't quite stand up to the Mazda 3. The six I owned was reasonably reliable, though I did have mechanical issues that were a disappointment. It felt generally pretty great to drive, was spacious inside, and ran and handled well.

I got my car when I was first 16. My father purchased it upfront cash for about 6,000. When we first got it, the car seemed great. The previous owner took very good care of it. One thing that I liked was that the color was black, and once I drove it, I liked the fact that it drove smoothly. One thing I didn't like was the wheels. They made the car look very plain. Therefore once I saved up, I changed them.
