Mazda 6 all the way. Patriot is garbage, CRV is a decent small SUV, but the new 6 is fantastic You'll get way more features, comfort, power, even with the 4 cylinder. Trust me Mazda makes cars that are reliable, refined, and a blast to drive.
I've driven a Honda all my life and the features have been as expected (or beyond). My choice is the Honda based on experience. I haven't driven either of the other two so can't say about them.
