RE: What car is the best of these?
Thanks eveyone. Great input.
I would love a Civic Si, but for what i am looking for i think it is just a little too much of a sports car. If i was looking at the sports car market, i have to be honest i would put it all in for a VW GTI.
I may get a hard time from you about this, but i am VW at heart. I know they have had quality problems, I own a 94 Golf and a 01 Jetta. But the new rabbit and GTI are built in Germany, not mexico. That may put an end to the problems.
I also realize these cars are not really competitors, but these are the ones i like. And after the car show this weekend, the Altima went to the top of my list, but it is hard to ignore the figures on the Mazda 3 and Honda Civic for reliablity.
Thanks guys keep it coming.

I know i will probably get flamed for this, lol. Try looking at a05 stang. A used one will only be around 16K. They get decent gas mileage and come with a decent amount of power. Not to mention that just with bolt-ons you can get in the mid to low 14's. As i said, you may not be into modding, but you may want to in the future. Since you are really looking at newer cars, there is nothing wrong with looking at everything.

The Civic offers great reliability, although I'm personally not a big fan of the drive by wire throttle. I've only driven a 5-speed, so I can't speak for all of them.
In terms of styling, the new Altima really is a huge improvement over the old ones IMO. It would be a good car for comfort due to the size for sure.
I'd check out some reviews on them, and head to the dealer for test drives!

i love my grandmas 05 altima, nice, but doesnt draw too much attention, safe, reliable....the car is just about perfect, although, the you cant really feel the road under your front tires, so i have been hesitant to push it in the twisties...handles rather sporty for a family car. 08 lancer[:'(]but there pretty nice. 07 civic, you cant go wrong with a honda....i love my 98civic, and wont buy anything thats not honda or nissan, unless its say...a shelby...or a ford GT...C6 ZO6...but only as a second car.
