Should I get a mazda or a honda?

I've found a 2006 honda accord ex coupe and a 2008 mazda 6 i sport value edition. They are both about the same price with about the same miles and they are both in really good condition so I can't decide which one to get. What would you choose and why?

The mazda - 2 years newer

I myself would pick the Mazda. Both are good cars.I've drove both and liked the Mazda better.

Honda. They run forever, do not lose nearly as much value & I had a Mazda GLC years ago that was a total lemon. (Have an Accord now & love it.)

I have a Mazda, and I love it. However, Honda builds great cars as well. For me, if both are in good condition, it would come down to whether you want a 2-door car or a 4-door car. For some reason, people think of 2-door cars as being more "sporty" (even though this has no bearing on actual performance). However, a 4-door car is a lot easier to live with, and the back seat is much more accessible, and therefore useful. To me, that would give the Mazda 6 and edge over the Accord coupe. If we were talking an Accord sedan, it might be different.

Honda. It also depends are you getting a higher end car? Mazda higher end cars are great. But if you are going with a more budget friendly car, you can't beat what you get in a Honda and the way it handles.

Also Hondas hold onto their resale rate much more. I would consult Consumer Reports and compare safety, quality, resells, and performance ratings.

I'm getting my second Honda. Great mpg. Nice looks, handles well. And SAFE!

Both are great cars. Beverly S. Just had a bad experience, because even the GLCs were on par with the Civics and Corollas back then. My uncle had a GLC with over 400K miles on it before the engine went. If it were me, I'd get the Mazda. If you like the the feel in the Honda, you'll love driving the Mazda. It will out perform the Accord. Resale values aren't as high as the Honda, but they still are pretty high. The Civic is a great car, but so is the Mazda. This boils down to a matter of preference.
