...2010 Mazda3, or other? As I said, I have only $22,000 to spend. I want a new car. I've had nothing but bad luck with used cars. I want something reasonably sporty with a good "fun-to-price" quotient (as Car & Driver would say). I just can't decide. I've test driven the Honda Civic Si and its quite fun to drive, but (like all cars), has its drawbacks. The Kia Koup comes out later this summer and looks nice, but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to buy a Korean car, much less a Kia. And the 2010 Mazda3 seems nice, but I can't get over that stupid new grille up front. Does anybody have any of these cars? If so, what do you think? Maybe you could recommend a car I haven't even considered! Thanks everyone!
