What car should I buy?

[ant80]

I love the matrix, i test drove that, the elantra doesn't have a lot of space in the back, not as much as the matrix aniway. The only thing i have against the pt cruiser is that it is an american make... Any suggestions?

Also, I heard from someone that the matrix gives nearly 40 miles a gallon. anybody know if this is true?

Matrix. You might want to look at the Mazda 3 also. The other cars you listed are junk.

yeah get a Mazda 3. the MAtrix is alright but its pretty slow and boring

My wife and I got ~39mpg driving back home to Kansas this past summer in my Matrix. That was with the back loaded with luggage.

Edit: Might as well mention, it gets anywhere from 25 to 29mpg on pure in town driving. Depending on traffic and various conditions.

Scrub the Hyundai off your list.

Are you trolling? I ask because those are all such incredibly lame cars. I don't think you are trolling, but if i was trying to think of a list of 3 girly cars I wouldn't want, they'd all top it.

You should hand in your man card for even considering the pt cruiser. I'd probably buy the matrix out of those 3, but I wouldn't buy it, given that other vehicles exist on the planet.

Mazda3 gets my vote. My young brother is going to get a Mazda 3 hatchback this summer.

PTCruiser = Teh UGLY
The Elantra doesn't seem a bad deal, but you're going to take a huge depreciation hit.

I would buy the Toyota Matrix out of all of those (Or the Pontiac Vibe, its the same car).

EDIT: You can also look into the Mazda3, a used Protege5, or a Scion TC too.

Damn man, talk about a rock and a hard place... and a really hard place.

And honestly, I'm not sure which car is which.

bwahahaha

i vote for a used cadillac

the mileage isnt great....but its a damn comfy ride

I'd look @ the used car market myself if $ is an issue.

All of these vehicles have the personality of a refrigerator/dishwasher.

If you're interested in high MPG, compact package & wagon versatility, find a used Jetta TDI wagon... At least it's got a bit of personality, TDI VW's aren't bad reliability wise, versatility of a wagon, diesel's economy, price should be reasonable since VW seems intent on misjudging the US market...

get the pontiac version of the matrix. rolls off the same assembly line, but is cheaper because of toyota fanbois.

 

[TRDGT]

The Matrix is nice, Toyota quality and good gas milage.
Don't like the PT Loser, saw one today that looked like hearse, it's for people that ca'nt afford a real "street rod".

 

[causearuckus]

If you are looking for a hatchback go with the AMC Pacer. Can't go wrong with 33% glass
