Seeking views on S60, Q50 and Mz6

[Baal]

Q50 for me. Mb engine with 7AT , RWD, turbo.

 

Mz6 should take 2.5 to b fairer. But heard AD for mz charges like entry conti.

[Hamburger]

went Mazda showroom and first thing when i entered the crowded showroom, i was asked by the sales rep...

 

hello, are you hear to see car?

 

废话，难道来送货么。。。

[F1enthusiast]

Depending on the variants, the difference can be around $30k.

 

What's the prices like?

The mz6 2.0 should be substantially cheaper, yes?

I look no further than a 2.0l car.

 

your comparison is unfair for Mz6 2.0L, Q50 and S60 both above 180k, Mz6 only 135k,

should be Mz6 2.5L at equivalent class,

Reliability, FC, Value for money, interior specious, Maintenance cost, insurance premium wise definitely Mz6

Q50 and S60 only win over on performance and driving fun

[twizter]

i would choose the Q50 too.

 

but my wife say the ininfiti logo look like Chery. lol

 

Bro, tell her if you look carefully, can see Mt Fuji... haha

[ODCmaniac]

If budget is top priority, go for the mz6 cos price diff is at least 20k compared to the other 2.

 

But if u wanna fully utilities your budget of 160k and making sure u wanna maximize your monies, then u left with q50 and s60.

If i ignore the performance and the engine refinement issue, i would just take the higher speced (can't rem if it's called premium/executive) mz6 2.0 then.

In terms of cabin space, overall luxury, reliability and all other aspects, the other 2 are not much better also.

seriously, it's a chery to me. 

At least everytime i see the badge i have to look twice to see that it's an Infiniti, not a chery.

Mz3 and Mz6 is selling cheaper than Altis and Camry. So Toyota selling even more than entry conti?

 

It is the "H" badge that think they are like preimum. Look at 1.6L Civic price. Over 120k for an outdated model

Err i think Baal meant the servicing done by the mazda AD charges like conti AD

[Axela72]

Basic Mz6 2L is 129k before further discount. Think Q50 is 159k. That is already 30k difference.

I think the level of trim, probably have to go for the higher spec 2.0 as a comparison minus engine, gearbox.

Think mazda held their prices this weekend compared to the other AD.

 

Anyway TS probably doesn't value performance that highly considering he doesn't seriously consider the 2.5 vs the 2.0.

Anyway, if due to cost of AD servicing matter, nowaday, many AD throw in 1st few years servicing. After servicing end, just do it at outside workshop. Wonder why ppls choose car based on the cost of the serciving charge from AD

$160k,Infiniti Q-50,you get based model,but you got a more powerful turbo engine+RWD,the same amount,you can get a top line Mazda 6,2,5,with alot "toys",but road tax is higher...FC wise,Q-50 is higher,because of heavy weight....the choice is yours.

 

RWD for Q50, yes.

But more powerful engine I think is the S60 T5.

I know many people who service their cars at AD past the warranty.

Yes, what I meant was the servicing for Mz at AD..  Not the purchase price of a new Mz which I understand is very competitive.  Thanks Doc. !

I previously saw from the Mz 3 thread that the basic 10k servicing was ~$400.  Not sure about Toyota, but for Hd, I heard from another mcfer its 220-230 for a basic 10k servicing (based on a Civic 1.6).

Generally, I undertand that when u go outside WS (using their EO), for Jap/Kor brands, the bill would be ~60% of that that the respective AD would charge.

Q50 for me, love the looks

I wonder why you don't put Ford Mondeo 2.0 in your shortlist, which has same performance and fun as S60/Q50 but much lower price and maintenance, insurance cost,

If comparing the three - Q50, S60 and Mz6 ...

 

S60 ... I was attracted by the T5 engine ... 240 bhp. I test drove the car and my observation ... the gear change seems jerking. The model has been aroound for a long time ... FL after FL. And the dashboard ... look outdated ... so NO for me.

 

Q50 ... Mercedes engine and transmission at 50k lower than the C250. I test drove this car as well ... not bad .... good value for the money. Cons will be the "badge" and the car being relatively new in the market

 

Mz 6 .... Never tested the car before ... so no comment but for 30k lower compared to the other 2.... 

 

My vote goes to the Mz 6 2.0.
