Finally decided to get a new car.

Well, after looking at a few different vechichles(Civic,Cobalt,Mazda3,Spectra5,Suzuki Arieo) I bought the new 2006 Ford Focus. I have test drove all of these and besides the Honda Civic, nothing comes close to this car in comfort and performance. The reason I bought this car besides me falling in love with how it drove is I got a heck of a deal on it. The car I bought was around 19, 125 after tax and title. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I was like well I could have gotten that new civic for that(In a lease:crap: ) So I thought that was where he was heading with me. So he says yeah, but we have a shit ton of rebates going on right now that will add up to about 3500 bucks.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif I was like sweet. So I decided to get it and I went from my cavalier at 23% interest to 8% and 15, 500 something. It is a 6 year loan, but have full bumper to bumper warranty for 3 36, 000 miles and powertrain warranty for 6 years 60,000 miles.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif So I am no longer upsided down in that junk cavalier. I mean I enjoyed well it lasted, but I wasnt about to pay 12000 bucks for a cavalier that I finiaced for 6900.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif I think I made out pretty good.

My question to you guys is do you think I made a good decision and what car would you have went with in what I listed?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just for fun

Yeah sometime in near future. My car payment went from 196.92 to 300 bucks, but I think it is worth it. I eventually will redo my system.

I may be selling my type r's in the box and my bass amp if anyone is interested, PM me about it.

You always know to stop listening, or stop reading whtaever is being said as soon as you read or hear foreign cars > domestic, to bad you didnt say it sooner it would have saved me some time

I should have stopped as soon as you said you were a ford guy

honda is the better car of the bunch

the suzuki and the cobalt are complete junk and u will depreciate like a ton of bricks,atleast the honda will hold some value

I drove a six, I liked it a lot. I don't care much for the shape of the focus or aerio

Girl car IMO. Honda would have been better. Good luck with it though, they do drive nice.

If you can't drive a stick without a tach, you shouldn't be driving a stick. Period, end of story.

/learned to drive a stick with no tach, it really is the best way. Learn the car, not the gauges.

I have a mazda3 and looked at some similar cars, mostly it was between the 3 and the tC. Wish I had gotten manual but whatever.
