Too much choice!
Have up to £16K for next car, looking at Saab 93, Mazda 6 (185bhp), Honda Accord & C class saloon.
Cover about 20,000 miles PA, like a good "cockpit", economy is pretty important.
Currently own 57 Accord, which has been excellent and will consider another one, but wondered how it would fair against the above.
Seems that the difference is between the specs of the car (ie Mazda comes with all the gizmos, C class pretty basic)
Not keen on 3 series, VW or Ford.
Could you recommend which you think would be best?

Avoid the SAAB because of potential engine problems. See car by car. I think another Accord is likely to be the least trouble.
