    I'm hoping to get a Mazda 3 when I save up some money. It's a decent car (both technically and esthetically), epecially for the price...I have to be realistic for my first car [​IMG]

    nice choice mang! when i was looking at getting a new car, i took one of those out for a test drive. they are a lot of car for the dollar for sure. just a bit more then the civic, and i like the looks of the civic a little better. honda has 2.8% financing right now...so i ended up scoring a REALLY sweet deal on a civic after my trade in.

    you lookin at the sedan or the hatch? i like that rain sensitive windshield. automatically turns on the wipers...very cool option

    I like the sedan better, not a fan of the hatchback. I definately like the look of the car and it's a huge improvement over anything that's in its price range. The interior is also very nice too, especially the dash and stuff. It definately doesn't look cheap at all as I've seen in other economy cars.

    My uncle might give me his 2001 Audi A4 soon when he get a BMW M3, so here's hoping [​IMG]

    I know, I actually like Civics so don't worry I wasn't talking about them. They would be my second choice behind Mazda 3 for the price range.

    BTW: have you seen the new Scion Tc? http://www.scion.com/drive/gallery/drive_tc_gallery.html ... click on the 360 degree tab to see the car. It's looks pretty good and it priced at 16 000 US. Scion is a marque to Toyota so the car will probably be decent quality-wise.

    not heard anything about their availabilty in Canada unfortunately. The pricing should be on par with the Mazda 3 and the Civic if it ever makes it over. It might be a little while. The Scion xB hasn't even made it over here yet and it's been on the market in the states for a while (you might be familar with it, it's the ugly car that looks like a box, but it's gaining popularity in the States).

    I have a 2003 Grand Am GT. I bought it for my wife before we split so I got stuck with it. I had a '98 Eclipse as well but recently traded it for a '98 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo.

    You had a 98 Eclipse? That's one of mine all-time favourite cars, not the new model though, the old one looks so much better.

    I wouldn't have traded it in but I guess a Supra is pretty nice too :P
