Lexus, Mazda 6 or Honda accord?

Okay so i'm thinking of buying a used car anywhere between $14,000-$19,000. I want a car that will last, since i'm in college at the moment. I;ve been looking at Lexus (IS or ES what's the main difference between the two btw) , Mazda 6 or a Honda accord. My parents have an Accord and it very reliable but they've always had Honda cars so i don't know about the rest. I've heard that Mazda cars are reliable and look like nice. As for the Lexus I know they are luxurious but what about being reliable.

Get something you trust, if Honda's have been in your family, great. Choose the Accord. Either that or the Lexus. They're both really good engineered cars. Ones luxury, the other one isn't. I personally love Lexus because it's the Toyota's twin, and it's classier.

Look at car insurance rates for each car. Make sure you know BEFORE you buy the car.

Mazda

Mazda 6

Lexus no question

The Japanese have LOTS of dignity and have ingrained perfection in their daily lives! They would rather DIE than give you a BAD CAR! I like the MAZDA CARS very much and some even share the LINCOLN Platform that has EXCELLENT road manners along with GREAT technology! MOSt JAPANESE cars leave me flat a bit as they just do NOT match the precision on the highway that any EURO car has! LEXUS is just as expensive to own as a TOYOTA IS< and all cars requires FULL FLUID CHANGES and attention as they age! MOst cars need TIMING BELT R&R at about 100k miles! The BEST cars use TIMING CHAINS or are NOT going to suffer damage if the BELT BREAKS! This is why TOYOTA and SUBARU and LEXUS are loved around the world~! Great ECONOMY< safety, and reliability, but a bit DULL! Older HONDAs were GOD AWFUL once the timing belt broke and VALVES got bent! But since most engines from them are FOUR BANGERS< they are VERY easy to work with., I believe that everyone should own an AUDI CAR at some time or BMW one! MAZDA is related to Ford in many ways, and TOGETHER they have made great strides forward in car making! LEXUS is a luxo TOYOTA with the same parts, etc just more dressed up! BYE NOW!
