I am in the market for a newer car. I am looking at a 2006 nissan sentra ser spec v, and also a 2008 mazda3 i. Can't decide. the nissan is $9,995 with 39k miles, and the mazda 3i is $10,995 with 44k miles. I drive a lot with other people, kinda like transporting them so I need it to be a smooth ride, but I also want something sporty for myself. haha. I barely know how to drive manual for the Nissan, but my friend said that after a month or less I will have it down. What do you guys think? Because the mazda3 i is auto, but does have that manual shiftig with the + and - signs. what you think?
