What a coincidence that all three most popular car magazines do a midsize sedan comparo for the February 2003 issues. The results:

2. Mazda 6i manual
3. VW Passat 1.8t automatic
4. Toyota Camry SE manual
5. Subaru Legacy L manual (tied)
5. Nissan Altima 3.5SE manual (tied)
7. Dodge Stratus R/T manual
8. Hyundai Sonata GLS V6 automatic
9. Kia Optima LX manual
10. Saturn L200 manual

MotorTrend
1. Mazda 6s
2. VW Jetta GLX

*all manual & V6

Road and Track

what happened with the accord and motortrend?

No manual V6 sedan Accord, so it didn't qualify.

The Camry beat the Altima :rofl:

What'd they all say about the Altima, Camry, and Accord in respect to each other?

Samson

well id expect it to beat it, just because the fit and finish in the camry is top notch compared with altima.....

Please put periods at the end of your sentences unless you have something else to say or purposely want an open ended sentence. Thanks

I wouldn't expect it, since the Altima is much faster and has much better handling, and these are enthusiast magazines. I still can't believe my grandfather's girlfriend bought an Altima...what a dumbass, the car is built of plastic and the fit and finish is HORRIBLE :slap:

Samson

hey... that last . at the end of that .... is a period..... :fawk:

Seems like the Accord is top of its game, and that the 6 is one heck of a competitor.

WAIT A SEC....ur telling me they compared a 4cyl accord manual to a v6 manual altima? if thats the case, then what type of crap is that??????!

Speed is not the one and only factor in a car. Basically they said the Altima's interior was very poor and cheap. Tons of torque steer. etc.... But it was by far the fastest of the bunch.
