i know it is a lot more, but im actually more interested in what you guys think of this car and mazda cars in general. I was also thinking of a used mazda 3, but they are a newer car and a used mazda 3 i cant find for less than $16,000 :( So please bear with me a little longer, more input is needed! :)

found the same model car, except cheaper...

well i would definately get a nissan maxima :D

i have one with 202000 km (currently) on it (its 98). it was fine - though i had to replace a few parts over the 2 years i owned it.

but it is a great car.

i would NEVER get a civic - i hate that car with passion.

that mazda is a nice car get that instead of civic if you dont want nissan. i however prefer a bigger car so i went with nissan maxima.

nissans are very dependable too. mazdas are so so. probably like jettas. depends on you luck.

EDIT: actually since you budget seems to be a bit flexible you can get the new style altimas: SWEET

i'd get them if i were you. nice

ps. accords are good too. but do not consider the one you have - it looks pimped and with manual tranny it was most likely driven HARD.

thanks panacea, i brought up the mazda, because it has this kind of "youthful" feel to it, its a wagon, so it has the room, but its also sporty , errr hahahaha im soo vain! :p

I would go for the 2003 Dodge SX2, its newer(and it looks like a modern car) and has a good price.

I would also recommend the SX. I am a bit biased, though, as I own the SX's predecessor (Yes, a Neon). They're a nice looking car, and have great fuel economy. As far as a car's reputation goes, a car is only as good as it's owner treats it.

Break-ins are going to happen. Unfortunately, it's just a gamble you're going to take when you purchase any car. Remember, most windows on cars are easily broken.

EDIT: Also, as far as your three original choices go, keep in mind that you need to get your car safetied in order for it to be registered. Before you go and take a look at any of the cars you have in mind, make sure you get a hold of a Safety Checklist. You need to evaluate how much each car would cost you after you've purchased it in order to get it safetied. (Unless it's already been safetied prior to the sale.)
