Hey dont bash the Mazda 6 now. I got one of those, you guys wish you could have a car as cool as that permanently. Better be careful, my girlfriend madelene might want to take some kneecaps off if she hears you talking bad about here 6.

I was hoping for an Altima because I own an '05 (2.5) and it's very comfortable and very smooth ride. As a family car I give it an A+. Last year I rented a Mazda 6 in Puerto Rico and I can't complain. After driving a Z in a daily basis it's just hard to get used to drive something else unless it has the same or more power.

yea try using mazdas most horrid tiptronic , ...i think theres is the runner up with acura for the worst manumatic mode i have ever seen i think theres a 3 sec delay from shifts lmao. When i had a rental mazda 6 all i could think of was ..damn we take for granted what we drive. Driving a Z which is in my opinion the best sports car for the money, is a great medium between higher level performing cars and sports cars in its catagorey. Bottom line....you really appreciate taking a turn and not feeling like ur gonna slide across the front cabin or loose control with renting a car inferior to a Z. **** one thing i peave is the shifter...i absolutly hate shifters that are on the steering wheel now....ghey lmao.

yaeah, the triptroninc is a pain in the but, you shift and it is about 3 second delay, i hit the revlimiter all the time. you have to shift way early to hit it just right.

maddee is always getting on me because i hit the revlimiter all the time. hehe

I will be needing to mount and balance new tires on some new P45Rs. Anyone got recommendations? It's gotta be in the Orlando area.

tires way on colonial, takes good care of your rims, they have a brand new tire machine and they use rubber grommets on the tire separator instead of metal to metal The clamping machine also has rubber grommets that go on it. They are really nice there, i go there for everything I do with my tires and they have a good alignment machine as well.

If you go to Tires Way don't forget to say that it was recommended by OZOC (VIP treatment). Ask for Waldy or Jose.

Ask for Waldy, great guy and he'll take care of you, tell him Manny Ortiz sent you.
and make sure they hook you up with Jose the tire specialist for the work ( short spanish dude)

tires way f**ked me bad. took it there for an alignment, drove away and it wasn't straight. brought it back the following week to get another one..... drove away and it pulled the other way now.(mind you i have camber kits front and rear so there should be no reason it cant be aligned). i went back to them the same day and they said to make an appointment the following week. So i came back again (against my better judgment) to have them re-align it. They put it on the rack but never aligned it. All they did was have Jose put 61psi of air in my right front and put 31 in my left front (10psi past max pressure, dangerous as fu*k) . i guess they didn't think i would notice. Oh and to make it better they ripped off one of my splash guards and scratched up a side skirt while trying to get my car off the rack. All they had to say to me about that was " things happen that you cant control ". After a half hour of arguing they offered to have "some guy" repaint my side pieces but they wont replace the torn splash guards. So after $80 in alignments and $200 worth of paint work damage, my car still pulls right.....

you be the judge. my car is never going anywhere but nissan from now on. Charles has always been on point for everything he has done for me.

Waldy is a very nice guy, but unfortunatly he doesnt have much control over what happens in the shop or how things are handled.....

Wow!!! Sorry to hear that. It may be an isolated case and I completely understand your frustration. I've been taking both of my vehicles to Tires Way for 2 yrs. for allignments, brakes, oil change or just to get new tires and never had a problem (knock on wood)....

i was going to go further into it as getting my car fixed (lawyers or something), but they are not worth my time. Maybe you just have to know them or something. but for now my car looks like a sh*t.

Like wise, I'm sorry for the trouble caused.
I had my car aligned, hit a pot hole in downtown Orlando that threw it off again and went back a week later and they fixed it with no charge.

Not to make any excuse by far but like Juan said, could have been an isolated incident.
I'm sure Nissan, Toyota, Honda.....etc have *** something up in the past and screw people over.......
I almost got screwed by Nissan North America
