Re: Car shopping :-)

I also would go with the Mazda over the Golf. Japaneze cars are so well built, but both can be fuel guzzlers

Re: Car shopping :-)

just some info:



Vehicle Highlights

The 2009 Mazda 3 sees few changes, pending a redesign due in calendar-year 2009 as a 2010 model. These compact cars come in 4-door sedan and 4-door hatchback body styles, all with front-wheel drive. The 3 continues to be available in Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trims. The high-performance MazdaSpeed hatchback, which is available in Sport and Grand Touring trims, continues as well. All have a 4-cylinder engine. Mazda 3s with the "i" prefix have a 148-hp 2.0-liter, and "s" versions have a 156-hp 2.3. The MazdaSpeed has a 263-hp turbocharged 2.3 and comes only with a 6-speed manual transmission. Other models have a manual or automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. A navigation system is an option on s and MazdaSpeed Grand Tourings. MazdaSpeeds include a limited-slip differential, sport suspension, larger brakes, 18-inch wheels, and specific styling touches.
COMPETITION

Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Compact Cars comprise popularly priced sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons with wheelbases 99.4 inches or longer.

Our Best Buys include the Honda Civic, Nissan Versa, and Scion xB. Our Recommended picks are the Chevrolet HHR, Hyundai Elantra, and Mazda 3.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Ford Focus (coupe), Hyundai Elantra Touring, Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix, and Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. The Volkswagen Jetta also adds a diesel engine.

anything babe, if you need any other info, let me know!

but what my mistake was in telling you, I thought it was good on gas, and its not, so its going to cost you quite a lot, so also check out theVW's gas mileage if it does concern you.

or I can check it out for you.

been a car chick for years.

I've been doing some more research tonight ... It looks like the VW Golf is a no go. The deposit is way too much for me now because I'm a poor student
