Bro's getting a new car!
my little bro is gettin a car! he is turning 17 in a month and has almost a full year of driving experience and record is clear. he is in a huge dilema and needs your guys help on which to pick. his choices are:
07 Scion TC 5MT
07 Mazda3 5MT
07 Mazda6 5MT
07 Honda Accord LX Coupe 5MT
which would you guys recommend? he's just looking for something that is good all-around. what are the pro's and con's of each? which would perform better? and anything else that i/my bro should kno about?
thanks~

Cruising in ATL!!
I would personally go with Accord Coupe. Better styling IMO. I have biased opinion on Mazda just because I drove their pick-up truck B3000 for about 2.5 years and absolutely hate it.
Oh yea and I feel sorry for your parents if they are paying for you and your bro's insurance. I understand you guys might have clean record but damn can you imagine paying auto insurance for two boys (17 and 18)????? yikes.

Mazda3 and Honda Civic in
You can get a mazdaspeed3 sport for msrp for 22k, thats the same ballpark as the Civic Si. For about 3 grand less I would still choose a Mazda3 5door. Test drove a sedan with my GF and i fell in love with this car.
Tc didnt really impress me at all

What Would Don Draper Do?
while i do prefer the civic si to the four that were mentioned, since it's not an option here, i'd go with the mazda3.
and what's wrong with the tc? i like it. if i was 17-21, i wouldn't mind having one.
but i'd take the mazda3 over the tc because as someone said, it's probably a better value for the money. the tc's can get pretty expensive, i hear.

Mazda3 or the Accord. The only thing is with a coupe, if he's going to be carting around friends, having only 2 doors might get old. What about the sedan?
I'd be afraid to park a Civic Si anywhere for fear of it being stolen. Not to mention the insurance is probably high. And I have to agree with others who don't like the dash....why is the center console crooked?! I hate that!

true, but if i was in high school or starting college, and i was gonna get a new car in that price range, i definitely wouldn't mind having a tc.

Mazda3. Wouldn't insurance for a Civic SI be expensive as hell?

u guys are Definately right about the TC, i took a step inside of it today at the dealer, and wow..the interior is simply Crap! its horrible! its worse than a matchbox toy car! interior is seriously a joke. i was soo disappointed. the mazda 3's interior is such a Beauty compared to the Tc.
