I rarely see a Mazda 6, especially the Itouring and Grand Touring version, which come with 19 inch wheels. Out of all sedans, the one I like the most and that also comes with regular 6 speed, is the mazda 6.
Test drove the Mazda 6 and absolutely loved it, but took the safe (in my mind) route (there's a whole thread about it). They're absolutely gorgeous looking for vehicles at that price point and the drive is sublime compared to its chief rivals. I was disappointed I didn't go back for another look. I was at the time turned off by the seemingly afterthought screen placed on top of the dash and, more importantly, the fact that the touch screen doesn't work when the car is moving. Also, the controls down by the cupholders seemed out of place (begging for something to be spilled on them) and extraneous as there are also controls on the steering wheel. But, those are lame quibbles (except the touchscreen). Not sure about the 19inch wheels - doesn't seem necessary, but they look good.

I do see Mazda6s intermittently where I live, but not even close to how often I see Sonatas, Accords, Camrys. I think I see Sonatas the most.

I'm a young guy, so the idea of driving a camry or any 4 banger sedan, after having driven one for years, it doesn't appeal me that much. Yeah, the car has improved but 180hp, which most these 4 bangers linger around, just doesn't cut it these days. I will always feel like I should have gotten something more powerful or sportier. It is only 30hp more than my current old car, that's nothing.

Obviously, more power and sportiness, translates to more money, unfortunatly.

Common sense, tells me that the v6 mustang is the best option, it is the one that offers the most bang/power for you buck.
Don't forget to price out the insurance before you purchase. Are you under 25 (guessing so after reading some of your posts). The Mustang insurance will be HIGH.
