I am a teen and will be getting my first car soon and i am stuck between these two cars. The Mazda3 is loaded with everything including Nav, Leather & Heated Seats, CD/MP3, Sunroof. It has a V4 engine and is FWD. It is an '08 so its used with 20,000 miles. The patriot has CD/MP3, sunroof, cloth & heated seats and also a V4 engine with FWD. This is a 2010 and is Brand New. Since this is my first car i want it to be economical and also fun to drive.
I have also provided links for more info on the cars.
