After 14 years and 192K we have decided to replace our Honda Civic. It has been an great car, the only thing that went on it is the alternator. Still has original exhaust and clutch!
After much deliberation with the wife, no matter how many other cars we looked at in the sub 30K range, we kept coming back to the Mazda 6. It drives great with a good mix of performance and ride quality. It could use a few more pony's but I wanted something that would get decent mileage. The interior is probably one of the things that sold me the most, everything about the design is extremely classy and clean. The final selling point is we could get in 6 speed manual.
Future mods:
Remove Mazda 6 and Skyactive emblems
Racing Beat Exhaust
Cork or Injen intake
Tune
Wheels and tires when the stock one's wear out
Maybe H&R Springs
