With the Slew of other "new car shopping" threads, I figure I throw mine in the mix...
Yes, I am trying to sell the civic, Taking money from that and paying off all debt, and getting a nicer place. Trading in the Focus and a grand or 2 for a nicer car before the end of the year.
I want to maintain SOME practicality, so GTO and Mustangs are kinda on the edge of the picture since the GTO has no trunk, and worthless rear seats, and the Mustangs are only 5 speeds and have trouble getting over 23-24mpg on the freeway.
I want a stick
I want under 20K, Preferably closer to 17-18K
I want good freeway MPG (25+)
05 or newer
less than 40-50K miles on it
V-8 or turbo 4 banger.
*Hence the Mazdaspeed3/6 thread*
This thread is basically "What do you guys think I should be test-driving" kinda thing, I threw everything that I could think of that meets the Criteria on the poll, Feel free to give me other ideas.
I've come to the realization that I need to take a break from MODDING, but I will not sacrifice speed (I could easily keep throwing money at the civic and make it plenty quick fairly cheap to prove the point and not have payments on that, but heavily modding a car, AND having car payments is taking its toll, and even my dad said "Wait, You still HAVE that car???")
There are a PILE of other reasons behind why I want to do this, but it involves more personal family issues that have been arising in recent months.
