19 inch tyre are expensive, 17 is cheap but for a powerful car like Mazda 6, I suggest going for 18, you would maintain the grip and traction and stability , also aesthetics.

The 2013 Mazda 6 2.5L was one of the cars I considered, having tested the 2018. It has the best drive compared to Accord and Camry, giving the closest European build feel.
Yes, the 2nd hand resale value is not as good as the other 2 but thats to the used car buyer advantage.
I believe with on time maintenance and regular driving, the car would not give much problem. Wear and tear parts are parts and parcel of getting a used car, so set your expectations and budget accordingly.
Otherwise, you may need to fork out more for a more recent model with warranty still active.
Lastly, avoid used car dealer, shop patiently and wait for a low mileage with full service records from a direct seller.

For a more spirited drive, there is the rare 2.0 Diesel. But was given the impression parts and maintenance would cost more.
