Looking for a mid size sedan, reliable and good on gas. Narrowed options to:

Camry
Accord
Altima
Sonata

All 2013 models because dealers are trying to move their inventory, thoughts my brethren ?

No hemi
 
Sonota or Camery would be my picks in that order.
But the discount would have to be very steep for me to buy a brand new car instead of s verified preowned model.

It will be a great daily driver after you've paid it off and you decide to buy another car.
 
Accord all day. Proven reliability and it'll hold its value better than the others on your list.

Not to mention you can get an official Honda 8yr/100k mile warranty for around $1000.
 
From that list Accord hands down. Altima would be a close 2nd.

I highly suggest looking into the new Mazda 6 though.
 
Thanks for the input fellas. I am leaning towards a 2013, certified pre-owned. Looks wise I am leaning towards the accord, but fuel wise I like the Altima. My main gripe with the Altima is it is very hard to get one with leather seats, and as foolish as it sounds I cannot drive a car with cloth seats. Will most likely go with the Accord or Camry, test driving all cars after I get back from my wedding in late April. One other thing to mention is I am trading in my Nissan Z, so will see which dealership gives me the most for my trade-in.

 Camry is the ugliest of the bunch.

You might not like the CVT on the Altima. The Accord is CVT as well but I read its much smoother.

Mazda 6 has the best driving experience of the bunch from numerous reviews. Camry will have the most stale ride. Also battles the Accord for best looking. Only thing I dont like about the Mazda 6 is that tiny screen they use for nav and whatnot.
 
^ Yeah I test drove the 6 a few months back and that tiny screen really bugged me. It felt so behind the times in an otherwise nice vehicle. The UI also sucked big time.

The 6 is a nice car though. Sporty looks and great gas mileage. I don't know how that front end will stand the test of time though...it's too trendy for my tastes. Seems like I'd get tired of looking at it in 2 or 3 years. I also didn't love the visibility in the 6, either.

Front end looks modern and nice, will def still be modern in a few years.

Want a car with a front end that already looks dated? Try the 6 series.

 Ive been complaining about the 6 series front end (otherwise amazing car) in like 5 different threads.
