My Mazda 6

My Mazda 6

After four years driving the New Beetle, it was time for the car to get a new owner. I would love to have had the new convertible, but getting a case of beer in it is almost too much to ask. This isn't useful for a daily driver, so I decided to give up the looks and go for a practical car. The Mazda 6 seemed the best choice. A luxury car for a fair price. The front of the car looks pretty aggressive.

I guess the wide and low headlights give the car the mean look that I like. The Xenon headlights are great and since I have this car I never had to change a lightbulb (which was a pain on the New Beetle). It takes longer to replace both headlights on the NB, then it takes to replace the engine on the old VW.

Compared to the aggresive and modern front, the tail of the car is a bit disappointing. It has been designed very conservative.

To give it a sportive look, Mazda added some Lexus-look taillights. I don't like really it. Normal red taillights would have been better in my opinion.

Just some other shots that I made, because I wanted to test my new digital camera :-)

And another one...
