Mazda 3
Tibouron (sp?)
Toyota CelicaYa know, coming from experience you really should buy a year or two old. You'll save thousands and still have the same great warranty. You can pretty much pick up a 2002 with under 15,000 miles for a SHITELOAD less than a new one.

i say a used car would be in your budget if you want 200 a month, unless you put down a lot of money for the down payment

buy used. you can get a top of the line car for the price of a bottom line car new.
i will never buy new again.

200 a month get a used:
focus
civic
camry
kia ( you can likely pick up one with the 100,000 mile warranty still fairly in tact)yeah, that's all you'll afford

id go for a 1 or 2 year old focus ZX3, or if you can find one, a focus SVT....
- atomica0
won't find a svt for 200 a month....
i tried. I have a 2001 zts its everything i want in a car, aside from the 120 hp. My next car may be another focus, but a new 5-door svt.

I saw a $199/mo lease deal on the Mazda 3s in my newspaper this weekend. They are getting really good reviews.

try going for a Jetta...More than your $200 a month...but you can get something new that will last you a good 8-10 years (100k+ miles)...I just picked up an 04' jetta...Lovin it
- atomica0
you gotta pay a ton for a jetta worth something. I looked into a few and to get options similar with my focus I ended up with a $26k price tag. Not at all worth it imo.

Pshh!! That's easy!
Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V Nismo R-Tune

jettas are a big step up from focus's.
drive it. you'll get it.
i've been hypnotized by VW for a long time.

Yeah, a Jetta is WAY better than a Focus. You can get a nicely equipped Jetta for about 19k.

Look into that Scion I linked earlier, it's really nice. One of the best new cars out there in the sub 17k price range.
