Getting a new car!

[randy_tho]

You are comparing one model from one year from each company.  You cannot make a generalized statement of quality based on that.  If you do you're an idiot.

Go start looking up other models and compare them by the cost.

[pimpshiznid]

I wouldn't spend the money on either, but I'd get the Audi A4 or the Lexus.

Audi > Lexus.

[xxkrnxstylezxx]

Performance wise, yes it is better.

But Lexus has reliability that Audi doesn't. Audi's are known for their messed up electronics

Well, if it was me, I'd get a cheap car like a 240sx or 300ZX TT and mod it. But I'm thinking you just want reliability, safety, comfort. The accord or lexus you posted above will have that, more so the lexus. Other options are civic, or pretty much anything Toyota/Lexus

300ZX TT and mod it

Not a "mod" frinedly car. They are ok stock but it'll be hard to find on is good shape these days probably.

[xxkrnxstylezxx]

Well, it does take some money, but I really love that car. Even at stock, just replace the fuel injectors and you'll get much more power

I don't think I'll have much money to mod anything.

However, I have been looking at the Mazda3 and the Kia Spectra5 (pretty much the same car as the Mazda). I ike their exteriors, but I like the Mazda's interior more. Unfortunately, the Mazda is over $3,000 more. Anyone have any comments on those?

are you joking? the only CHEVY to have fewer problems in 2000 then the 2000 ZX2 is the 50k Corvette

and the cavalier has been around since the 80's the ZX2 was only 2yrs old at that point.

Is the Accord v6 cause if so do that up I got my old 1990 accord running at 360 000 km. And its my fav beater to screw around in.

I think KIAs tend to be pretty cheap. But they may have changed recently. I'm not up on them.

First of all, don't get a Spectra. Not reliable at all.

And I think the Mazda 3 is basically a ford escort? (ford owns mazda)

For that price, I'd get something reliable like a Civic or a Corolla.

[Soviet]

I'd say get a Saab 93 Turbo Hatch

[Razorwing]

get an old Chev or Olds, then pimp it

Kia is now owned by Hyundai. Hyundai is definitely a different company than what it used to be a few years ago. They're much more reliable and their sales are climing alot. I know that a few years ago, I almost never saw a Hyundai, but now I see a few everyday.

Kia is also getting better from the help of Hyundai. I think their sales also increased, but not as much. The spectra is not very reliable car however. I think Kia has more improving to do, but Hyundai is definitely getting better.

How about a Scion tC?

I was thinking that, too, but I like the hatchbacks more now that I have been looking at them.

I think I have boiled it down to a Kia Spectra 5 and a Mazda 3s (for this week, anyway).

Even if that's true you are still comparing one year which means nothing. At the very least, why not use a more current year? Also, the Cavalier may have been around since the 80's but, the 2000 Cavaliers aren't the same cars as the the older Cavaliers. I honestly don't see how you can think reliability follows a car model even if it is completely redesigned and rebuilt. The Escort, aka the ZX2, has also been around since the 80's if you want to stick to your theory. Do you truely believe your own BS? I won't even bother responding to you anymore because it is crystal clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. :D
