ok actually speaking of car design languages, my wife and i got a new (to us) car a few weeks ago (2021 mazda 6 w/ the 2.5t) and man that car kicks ass and looks so fucking good. also saw someone driving a current gen miata around the other day and that's also a damn good looking car???
i think mazda's current design language just kinda slaps. the side profiles especially are fucking great. here's some mazda 6 phone photos that my wife's reflection is visible in lmao
I helped my dad choose a pre-owned 2015 mazda6 when he needed a car and the thing's lane departure warning system has saved his life at least once. good car.
real good car. that was on our "would very much like to have" list but the real game changer for me is adaptive cruise control. florida is big, you have to drive everywhere, not having to get a fucking ankle injury dealing with constant acceleration and braking on I-75 is gonna be a fucking lifesaver
goddd i have a 2010 mazda3 and im planning on upgrading but i love my current car so much i might just go for a newer mazda 3/6 and this makes me go 👀👀👀👀
UNFORTUNATELY 2021 was the last year of the mazda 6 in the US (it's getting a big redesign apparently) BUT the current gen mazda 3 is also super fucking nice. the CX-30 was also on our list and was a good size (it's a crossover but my personal rule is Shorter Than Me and it met that) but we liked the 6 more lol
the cx-30 looks sick as hell. im also generally anti suv/crossover but it does seem to be solid as a compromise
honestly im probably going for a hatchback or a cx-30 cause damn if im not constantly getting more pissed about my lack of trunk space
yeah big trunk is always good. fwiw you know that i am not very tall and i was still a bit under a head taller than the cx-30, it's barely a crossover for sure.
also big shout out to this car coming with a really tasteful aftermarket tint that is gonna be a fucking lifesaver in the summer
I used to own a Mazda3 GT S and that thing was cool as SHIT. Like one of the first gens of cars that had a holo speedometer, and it was just a piece of flip up glass that made you feel like you were driving a fighter jet.
New gen sedans have AWD, right? Their lineup is solid as hell.
i rag on the ND MX-5 a lot but god, Mazda's current design rules. not a fan of the SUVs/crossovers but if i ever bought a car that wasn't 20+ years old, it'd probably be a Mazda 3 or Mazda 6
