Out of those three, get the Mazda 6. You might want to consider a Honda Accord as well.

They are all good cars. Best to take them for a test drive and see which dealer gives the sharpest deal. What will they be using the car for mostly!

I'd rather have any one of the three than no car at all.

The mazda would be the pick of the bunch followed by the hyundai offering, in my opinion the kia isnt even in the same league as the others

Have you seen the new Optima! Its a very smart looking car and under the skin its basically the same as the Hyundai i45.

I really love the look of the i45 and the optima. I saw a car driving down the road last week that looked so impressive that I did a u-turn so I could find out what model it was. It was an Optima. Mazda 6 is nice too but there's so many of them. My opinions are purely based on looks though. I've no idea which would be best mechanically. I'm not sure why the person above said Kia wasn't in the same league. People say negative things sometimes without any facts to back it up. Talk to an auto electrician and a mechanic and get their opinion.

Good idea. Got a bit intoxicated recently and thought I'd do the right thing, taking a bus home. Got home safe and sound. Pretty good as I let my Passenger Sevice and Omnibus licence lapse in 1980 and hadn't driven one since then. Auto, so easy!

So how did you find the Kia Optima when you drove it! I thought it was rather good. Not gutless, roomy, very well spec'd. All round a good drive.

Thanks for your ideas but they are wanting to buy new not something five + years old with 100k on the clock

Don't listen to scotty. Hes just an immature idiot who thinks a 3.8L automatic VX Calais that can do 0-100 in 8 seconds is the best car ever built. Typical inbred type.

About 6 months ago a mates company car was to be updated. He had a dollar limit and allowed to buy pretty much anything he wanted. Had an XR6 which had been OK so tried new, a Commodore too and many others. I was a bit surprised when he chose a Hyundai i45. He got more gagits for the money, loves the way it drives and tows his boat as well as the XR6, all of which I found very interesting. Personally I like the i45 styling more than the Optima so that would sway my decission. I think the Kia's resale will be worse too.

wow i always thought you were a tosser and then you go and prove me right, my Calais is a shitload faster then 8 seconds 0-100 that the same as my old 2.4l A4 and that was gutless.

Everyone has always known you are a loser Scotty. Most actually feel sorry for you considering a fat, slow VX Calais is the only achievement in your life and you actually believe its the greatest thing a person could achieve. And the video you posted showed your Calais does 0-100 in 8 seconds. 'Shitload faster' you say! Prove it.
