I guess the two aren't really related any more. But it also looks like the 6 has a lot of advantages.

I have to add:

I have owned a Mazda3 since new. it is the base model +AC. I have gotten Ford Focus rentals that are the same generation as my 3 (it is an 09)

The 3 is WAY better. It handles better, steers better, everything about the driving aspect is better. The interior looks much higher class/sportier than the fusion and I think the exterior looks better also, but the exterior styling is obviously an opinion.

I think the 3 was 1 or 2 thousand more than the focus when I bought it. Worth every penny. This car is by far the most enjoyable 4 cylinder to drive. It is lightyears ahead of the Corolla in terms of everything except maintenance.

The only thing I worry about with the Mazda is that they are known for bad transmissions and burning oil. Probably because these cars are driven to the limits because they are pretty fun to drive.

I don't see another Mazda in my future at least for a while, but I am really pulling for them to make it after Ford dropped them.
