That check engine light on the Hyundai Sonata is being funny, and the Toyota Corolla just had to get an axle replaced, so we're looking at new cars.
We went to the Mazda dealership because we heard good things about the Tribute. We test drove it - we weren't impressed. We saw the Mazda 5 and test drove that and liked it, but without All Wheel Drive, Electronic Stability Control, and Cruise Control it's not a buy. Toyota, Honda, and Subaru all have similar cars in the same price range as the Mazda 5 that have those features.
We'll let you know!
