Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.

    Doesn’t look like they have a sedan? It’s the only type of car I am looking for. The hatchback one does look nice, I am just not a fan of that style.

      Currently drive a 07 mazda 6. It’s a bit of a boat compared to smaller sedans like the Hyundai but it drives like a dream. Maintenance isn’t too pricey either

        My husband has an '06 Mazda Speed 6 and I swear it’s the most reliable car I’ve ever seen. It’s only been to the shop for repair a few times ever, and it’s been weird stuff like the AC went out, nothing major. Pretty sure my husband has spent more on tires and oil changes than repairs for that car. It’s been an absolute beast.

        You are right, I was just looking at the main site. For whatever reason all I see for 2024 models is the hatchback. I just switched to 2023 and found it. Although I only see the Mazda 3, now I have to look for the 6. Not sure why they make it so hard to find the cars.

        Edit: after looking some more I found that the 6 was discontinued. Nobody loves sedans anymore!

          Ahh so they did, I wasn’t sure so I didn’t mention it. 2023 was the last year then… A used one can still be very new I suppose.

          I guess even Mazda has to comply to the demand for SUVs and Crossovers…

            Yeah I will absolutely be buying used this time around. The cost difference of a car only 3 years old makes it very hard to go new. I was just looking on their site to get the information, that is a first time a car just didn’t exist anymore like that for me!

              Yeah new cars are not worth it for most people, I’ve only heard good things about new Mazda’s so definitely worth doing some research on
