about 17k to spend, what car can i get?
 

I'm looking for a used ride, good on gas, mid to good storage space in trunk.

I've been looking at the 2006ish Mazda 3

but i'm taking suggestions, i'm just not sure what to look for.

Nissan Sentra? Honda Accord? i don't know, just taking suggestions.

Four door, 4 cylinder, Power everything. Decent looking.

no kia, or hyundai suggestions plz.

you gotta give more criteria in a car. a civic sedan is relatively good on gas, decent trunk size.

smart

hmm, i don't want a civic.

whats wrong with a civic? lol. you can get a BRAND new base model nissan versa starting at $14 after tax is about $16 or so..

i was thinking about the versa, i will go check it out soon. I like the whole cockpit feel of a car, like i like how the mazda 3 feels like its wrapping around you when you sit in it. Nissan's have that same feel as well.

If you're going to make a thread like this, PLEASE post a NARROW CRITERIA OR A SHORT LIST

$17,000, 4 doors, power everything is extremely vague. it could be anything

thanks

g35, 350z, tl is around 18g ish but u cna prob talk it down to 17 check craigslist

Acura RSX-S
not bad on gas, decent trunk space

honda fit

toyota corolla!

Mazda6 2.3
Using it as rental I'm quite impressed by the packaging. Mazda3 is great too of course but 6 would be much larger. Otherwise mechanically similar.

Used audi and put some aftermarket exhaust on it.

Lease an 09 WRX265 for 2 years =)

02 bugeye wrx, with the spare change you can make some improvements or just save the cash.

4 door, awd, turbo, fun and has enough room to fit 8 people if you have one friend lying on the floor and 1 sitting on another guy's lap.

all good suggestions... i was looking at the WRX. It may be definitely an option. they are less expensive than i thought they would be.

Audi is also a good suggestion. Thanks.

2004.5-2005 VW Jetta GLI (BBS RC wheels, Full GLI bodykit (front/rear valences and side skirts), Recaro seats(red trim), brush aluminum pieces, 6 speed etc etc) Moderate/good on gas. Fun car to drive.

Buy an S14 and dump 10g's worth of mods into it.

get the RSX.. it gets great gas mileage and u have power when you need it

He did say he wants a 4 door.

parked my MZ6 next to a bugeye yesterday and the MZ6 is at least 1ft+ longer.

So it kind of depends on what you are looking for, space or performance?

This looks like it's turning to a New car vs Used car question
