Yea the first and 2nd gen tibbys sucked but i drove a 05 and loved it.

 

i love my coupe... just if you are looking for a lot of power, its not the best thing.. no good tuning program.

 

How does that work, especially on a new car?

I would go with the si out of all those choices as well. Although I did have a cobalt(not stock) hang with me through third gear the other night and I have to give them some credit now.

 

I was saying you're not going to get more back on a used car.

 

my cousin did.
hondas are doing that right now, the market is different here in north carolina i guess. people are buying fits for 14k driving them 10k miles and selling them for 16k easy after negotiations
and i was looking into buying an 07 si, and i was looking at coupe with the works-nav. dealer gave me 22k.
i see 07 for sale now at 22k with same equipment and 20000 miles on them.

 

If you have money saved up, why would you make payments on a car?

And I'm going to say none, because buying used is so much smarter.

 

Why spend up your savings when you can spend the banks money? As long as the interest rate is low it's smarter to finance in case you get in a situation where you need that cash right away.

 

Go with the Si. fo' deffs.

 

Id stick with the Mazda, but if not the Si most definetly!

 

Went to Hall today, he seemed stuck on sticking on MSRP. Going back to Casey again tomorrow(hopefully) and get the MSRP a tad lower, or get a banging APR %.

I drive a 2001 Hyundai Elantra (same motor as 2001 Tibs, not sure about later) now. It does it's job but that's all...

lolwut?! "Test" drove a CR. Creamed.

I have 9 Month's payments saved up. To get me through school, just incase something happens where I can't work. And a little fall back money, just incase.

I want to stick with the Mazda, but I need either a little budge lower then MSRP, or an amazing APR %.

So, the SI seems to be the next inline, again thanks to all who posted, and for any other advice/opinions/s2k's coming in.

EDIT: Figure I would add, I am paying for the car solely myself, minus a $1k down payment contribution from my parents.
EDIT2: To the guy mentioning the GTI, firstly, I can't believe I didn't remember to look at it. But secondly, when I did, I got that feeling of "I'm not gonna like this."
