the scirocco needs more creature comforts and i am tired of wondering =
when my wheel bearings,cv joints, timing belt, waterpump....etc.. are =
going to go out on me. i want a small reliable car.=20
-mazda-
-protoge 5 wagon... nice car. agile for a wagon, decent =
acceleration and power. roomy for a compact. i like the outside lines of =
the car. just a little too blah for me. but $18k after tags title fees =
and such nicely equipped. it was the lowest price so far.=20
-mazda speed protoge.... same as above with a nice stereo, quick, =
4 door, minimal choice in colors(black or orange). calloway turbo seems =
to be plenty of power for a small car. i would like to try this car out =
on a auto-x course. a little pricy at $26k after dealer markup taxes tag =
and title. also the interior is one that you love or hate, i like it.
-mazda 6. nice car except for the interior. for the "effort" =
that mazda put into this car you'd think they'd hired something more =
than an 8th grader to design the seats and such. but a nice smoot car. =
didn;t get the prices on this car because the interior drove me away.
-subaru-
-impreza wrx sedan- wow! everyone knows all about this car. all i =
can say is that it is awesome. handling,awd, turbo, tourqe, and hp.. =
sexy blue color and multitudes of upgrades avalible. 0% financing =
through subaru for 24 months... at $27k the most expensive of the group, =
payments would kill you. also no dealer option for leather interior.=20
-mini-
-mini cooper s- very very short, but as wide as a normal compact. =
this car is like a go cart. very well balanced. not alot of storage =
space as expected... but wow. 160 supercharged hp, 17" wheels, leather, =
6 speed) creature comfprts out the wazoo, nice harmon kardon sound =
system. very unique. very quick for an ultra compact(just happened to =
beat a type-r on the interstate) very smooth at 105mph in 4th gear. i =
beat on this car alot. taction control can be turned on and off. lots of =
dealer options. and the 2nd least expensive at $23k out the door. and =
the coolest thing was the sevice at the dealership. very low key, the =
sales person remebered me for 2 weeks ago. handed me the key, told me =
there was a full tank of gas, and to have fun. no supervision in a car =
that is not your own. thats fun.=20
