Yeah, I'm looking at new. I agree about the doofy look of the new Mazda3, but I also don't want a car that makes me want to run it into a sturdy wall when I drive it. That's where the zoom-zoom thing comes in. Maybe it's just a marketing thing. Civic, funny you mention that it's a teenage girl car. My little sister got a new one for her 16th bday. lol. Loaded with everything, including a giant fucking butterfly sticker on the sunroof so that "she'd always have butterflies around." I drove that thing to a car wash once, and was embarrassed beyond measure. I'd forgotten that until now. Corolla is kind of an afterthought more than anything. They're everywhere, but they've never really appealed to me at all. I'm only considering it because my current car is made by Toyota, and it's been good, so I figure it warrants a shot. There are others I like, as well. Four doors isn't a requirement at all. For some reason that I just cannot figure out, I like a Mini Cooper and the Smart cars. Maybe its because I could put a busa engine in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM3RC_Y4aXs&feature=related But yeah, I do like a smart car... I also kinda wouldn't mind a Nissan Versa, but I consider it more of a throwaway car than the others... Just not a bad deal for a car if talking the base model. Maybe I'm getting a little too "entry level", but I think I'd be perfectly content driving any one of these cars, now that I'm not putting 30-40,000 miles a year on. Since January, I've only driven a little under 1,000...
