  I'm trying to determine which is more worthwhile and logical to buy. A 2nd hand M6 2.0 (around 72k) or new Civic 1.6 (around 76k).
  
  Personally, I really like the M6 but a new one is definitely out of my budget. Civic's specs pretty decent but I don't really like the looks.
  
  Any bros here can advice?

  Think abt the differences in
  
  1) road tax,
  2) insurance
  3) fuel consumption.
  
  And then r u confident of the condition of the 2nd car.Any pro, any accident b4.
  
  All will depends and yr need and preferences.
  
  Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Well definitely everyone will agree the Mazda 6 is a beautiful car. So saying, its maintenance is gonna cost more. The Civic's more of plain simple honest transport, but it's new and it's really reliable. Personally im not too keen on 2nd hand cars tho.

  Go for 1st hand cars. Honda Civic is definately a good car. Great acceleration, smooth gear change (auto) and great mod potential. Saves alot more fuel than Mazda 6, if u maintain a RPM of abt 2-3 for long distance.
  
  Wldnt recommend Mazda, though it looks gd, it consume your petrol to the extend dat u wld think dat it's leaking. =p

  It is always better to get a first hand car.. somemore the insurance and road tax is cheaper for the honda civic then the mazda 6

  The choice is clear - Civic.
  
  1. New car.
  2. Proven quality for many generation.
  3. Good FC.
