Hi there - we are looking at upgrading our Toyota Carib to one of the following cars:
02-04 Honda Accord 2400cc
02-04 Mazda Atenza 2300cc
02-04 Mazda Axela 2000cc or 2300cc
Wondering please on what would be the best option given we do roughly 12-14000kms a year mostly round town, have one son still travels with us who is going to be very tall, and after owning the Carib for 7 years would like a car that is 'fun' to drive. Open to any other suggestions also.
Many thanks

All the vehicles you have listed are good vehicles but the Mazda 3/Axela SP23 2.3L engine and a manual transmission has the fun factor although some might prefer the auto ‘box option and it has good looks. Look for one with low mileage and a good service/repair history in NZ.
