Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. I guess I left out I am also a first time car buyer as you can tell, so this really, really helps me out a lot.

2 door or 4? I notice they don't have the cheaper v6s in 6 speeds though. That sucks.

Nah, this will be a long term car, that's why I am very interested in which way is the best way to go.

if you're going to buy a new car be a balla and get something sweet looking instead of the ugly crap you've mentioned so far. buying a new low or mid level car instead of used seems pretty silly.

Used is better, it doesnt matter what you plan to do with it. You can buy an 06 w/ 12k miles on it, for abotu 10 to 20% cheaper than a brand new car, and you will not be able to tell the difference until you look at the odometer in most cases. Brand new cars are for suckers or people who drive ferrari's


A used mazda 6, w/ the 6 cylinder is a good economical roomy car. Ive never heard anything abd about it except some people dont like the dash.

I'm looking for a new or used car that's around 20k. I'm willing to pay a bit more if it's really the car I want but I'd be happy with a car that is cheaper if it means getting a quality car. Ideally I'd like this car to last me 6years+
Gas/Insurance is a fairly big concern because I'll be on a budget when school starts again

if you're that worried about the cost of gas & insurance, you shouldn't be spending 20k on a car.

Hybrids are a waste of money w/o the tax break.

1. With the $2000 tax credit it saves you money.
2. I personally believe gas costs more than we pay for it, so I think hybrids are worth it.
