x12 on telling him to just pick a car by now!

 

what about a Hyundai Elantra? Out of the cars listed, I would go w/ the Accord, then the Mazda3.

On a side note, your brother is a douche for not wanting a used car. He's screwing your parents on cash when it comes to depreciation, he's being a snob and should be happy he's even GETTING car, and lastly, he can broaden his scope so much more if he looks used. Shit, get an '03-'04 WRX w/ low miles and call it a day. But that's just me.

 

the kid is so lucky and does not even get it, 5 pages on the most worthelss excuses on why not to get a car from his parents. Not hating but its a tad ridiculous

 

or...

Hyundai Tiburon
Hyundai Sonata
Dodge Avenger
Dodge Caliber R/T
Mitsubishi Lancer GTS ($18k)

 

Your right. The sentra's rear does look . I'd tell your brother that he can get more car for the buck if he went certified pre-owned though. I'm completely happy with my used 02 TL-P.

Edit: Replace Sentra with Altima, but they are both kinda ugly anyways.

 

That's what I think everytime I see a thread like, "which wheels do you like better" - "which color CL should I buy" "which exhaust sounds the best" etc.

 

no kidding. besides, making e-decisions on the internet for others is too much responsibility for me. pass.

 

It's not only you, I wish I could get a new car... but then again I still wouldn't choose a new car over teh CL-S, of course this isn't helping your brother at all.....

Test drive the Mazda 3 and Accord side by side, also is he keeping this car for a long time? If so ask what little things that can't be changed will annoy him in the future, or is he into customizing the car so looking at parts availiable and options is another aspect (I think the Mazda has this category? I may be wrong), just because stockwise the mazda is faster (or vice versa) doesn't mean it'll ALWAYS be faster w/ mods, alsoooo since Mazda is made my Ford wouldn't it depriciate faster? and more maintenance? Is he paying for maintenance? Does that even matter? The Accord IMHO sounds like a better investment but it really depends on how long he's keeping the car.... Under 5 years I say Mazda 3, over 5 years teh Acc.

 

Most kids aren't even lucky enough to get a brand new car, so he should be happy with anything.

 

lol at this thread turning from "ooh...i'll be happy to help your brother!" to "your brother's a spoiled brat. i'm not helping anymore!"

 

Well he should just pick something already, they are all good cars, so it's not like one of them would totally change his life...

 

your right, I posted earlier about the 3. Then I started here the dumbest reasons NOT to get a free car from your parents and the shit got old. He just needs to pick one the choices from the beginning, all are good cars and he just be thankful his parents can do this for him.

 

glad Im not the only one thinking this way

 

well im not sayin like.."what should he get?" im saying more like "help him decide~"

 

hmm, a helpful post in a long time. he never thought of those things u mentioned. he has a part-time job, wants to have modded to about 170/180 hp in the end(no big). he's keeping the car for about 5 or 6 years. he's not paying for maintenance. and mazdas by ford?

 

so has he decided yet?

 

I'm gonna wager on

 

that would be an unfair bet.

 

^^ only cuz you'll lose

 

haha...fair enough.

 

6 pages through, it's obvious we are not enough help. lol

 

^^

 

hahaha. im tellin him the stuff from here and printed out pages from this thread and hes still lagging. i dont kno. kinda dont care anymore. ive dont My part. if after all this, and hes still whining, i give up. im go watch some family guy. BUT i think hes going for Mazda3 cuss he changed his myspace backgroud to a pic of a Mazda3.

 

oh, heres another story~after all these disscusions about mazda 3's and stuff, my cousin is interested in a mazda too! lol omg what in the world is up with my family and gettin same cars!?!?

 

so you too, eh?

j/k.

 

Lol! yea~ well.. i Do care..its just getting old.

 

hmm, lets enlighten this thread. im interested in a roadster. S2000 or Z4?

 

s2000... but on your brother... he tech savvy? listen to music? 2007 Lancer


fully loaded is 21k





navi, gps, bluetooth, 650 watts, huge sub, CNET said the best tech in a car of this category with great resolution

also has built in "musicserver" which is a 30 gb harddrive and aux input via RCA

You can even watch a movie while in drive... on the gps screen

 

s2000.

 

too much for 16 old kid?

 

it's the older brother (op) that asked if he should get an s2k or z4.

 

Get Mazda 3! Mazda 6 has better performance having impressive Mazda clutch disc but is more expensive. Mazda 3 equally looks stunning as Mazda 6 and might be perfect for your bro!

Just love how it looks:

 

ooo woa wee~thats it? only 21k? that is cheap! hmm but the numbers under its hood arn't impressive.

 

i'm interested in mazda 3 as well. i'm gonna test drive a used wagon in few days. almost 10,000 on it, but it can be had 15.5k OTD.

 

haha yea~ I said that. mann, if he got a s2000..i would cry~ hmm. performance between the s2k and the z4's pretty similar huh? i love both car's exterior designing, the interior, z4. but the s2k's more fun to drive huh?

 

07 nissan sentra se-r

 

X2

 

the new sentras are too fugly! inside And out~

 

As for the lancer (WHICH IM NOW IN LOVE WITH):
Seriously, is your brother really going to use the full potential of that Mazda 3's speed/power so much that the lancer's abilities would seem so weak that all of those interior goodies won't be worth it? I doubt it, I think you should give that lancer a looksie, if he still wants the mazda 3 then I guess he's sold on it.
