Got rid of the Mazda 6...
Well, as some of you may remember, I had gotten my wife an 03 Mazda 6s last year. It was a beautiful car, some of the best styling I'd seen in a while. However, little did we know that this first year model would have such annoying reaccuring problems. The rotors and pads kept getting prematurely worn and gas mileage was hideous at about 19/mpg. The transmission was very jerky and had extremely hard shifting points. Well, after about the 3rd time to the dealer, the brakes started to make a high pitch squeeking sound. I knew this was another one of those damn issues related to the brakes/rotors/pads thing.
So, on a whim, I searched locally on Auto Trader and spotted a slightly used 04 Acura TSX non Navi with 5,700 miles with a Clean Carfax report. Took in the 6, they paid it off and let me have the TSX for a little over 24k. I am so glad to be rid of that pain in the *** 6. There were just too many little problems popping up that kept me from feeling comfortable with keeping it for an extended period of time. So, once the rains stop, I'll be sure to take lots of pictures...but in the mean time...

Both Mazda6 and TSX are very stylish cars!
The only down about comparing them is the engine. Mazda6 V6 is more powerful than the TSX 2.4L four banger.
I've never driven a TSX, so I don't know how it feels, but I do know that the Mazda6 feels good and quick, and it's engine is really great!
Congrats for your new car!!! I hope you enjoy it and remember to post pics of it!!!
