either the 2.0 ZX3 or the Fit sport.

I can't recommend Used, and EP Hatch is lame.

 

1.....but I'm partial to a focus....................

dave.

 

If it were me, I'd try to find a used 2004 ZX3 in RF Green with the 2.3/5-speed and power locks/windows.

 

Hard to pass on the Focus with $2500 cash back...best deal going....

 

Corolla XRS

 

Buy YNOT's car and go to town!

Imagine what can become of that car with Tony and Kris' imaginations PUT TOGETHER!

:evilgrin:

 

You put 2 Foci on your list as options, me thinks you want another Foci!

Go with the 06! :thumbup:

 

You know my arguments for and against Kris but I think the strongest argument for no would be against the new Focus 2.0. With as much as you'll be eating it with the Vic, the new Focus's drop in value as it rolls off of the lot is going to kill when mixed with the Vic's rolled over negative equity. It will take you years to get out from under the Focus. Like 4 of them.

Take it from someone who knows via a rolled in Cobra.

If you really want a Focus though, that used 2.3 has already lost its drive off equity and would be a damn fun car.

 

Hmm... Okay even though I have a fondness for the Focus, after all, I do have two of them.

However, I would choose the RSX-S out of that list. It gets better gas mileage than the Focus, better build quality, better resale value and is a decent, sporty car. IMO.

 

If it's gonna be a Focus, do like Rob said, get the low miles 2.3.

If it's going to be something else...

I would LOVE to see you do something with the Fit. :thumbup:

 

Honda Fit.


Why?


1. Well made vehicle.
2. The quality and reputation will maintain the price of the vehicle.
3. Gets good gas mileage.
4. Good looking car.
5. It's a Honda.

 

Focus, Focus, Focus!

 

I would go with option one.

 

I'd like to see you fix up a 2.3 hatch or an '06 Focus, the new style needs someone like you to come along and revolutionize it like you did with Spongebob and Krabbs Kris

I'm partial to the Fit Sport, but it's gonna have a huge aftermarket, and you're family here

Honestly, if your going to get a new body style Focus, get yourself a low mile '05 that already took the resale hit. No real reason to even get an '06.

 

I have to agree with Rob... used is great.

Our San Diego 2.3L hatch was $7600 with 25k on it... in awesome condition. SoCal has piles of used hatches for sale.

 

car? what do you need a car for? you live in Cali and have a DRZ400SM... :dunno:

 

07 GTI with DSG. O.K., that was not on the list, but I'm partial. I get an average of 31 MPG with mine, so I'm super happy! I'm not sure I like the other choices. The Fit is good on mileage, but that's about it for me and the car's newness will wear off in a while. The Focus is nice enough, but lacks styling and a certain "jazz" lately, so I'm waiting for a new config on that one. The other choices just don't turn me on. The GTI is just a blast to drive and I still look for reasons to drive just to take it for a spin, plus Alvin can get you a good deal at Barber.

If I really had to choose from your list, it would be the Focus over the Fit.

 

fit sport or rsx-s

 

2.3 or a fit.

I'd love a GTI.... hmmm maybe I should call Alvin

Or maybe call Dana?

 

RSX all the way

 

no to #5. why would you want a mini odyssey. plus the vtec on that car is only for saving gas. it's not like the vtec in the rsx-s or new si.

i say go with 2,3 or 4. oh and airforce but sorry to break the news to you but the new gti aftering being priced out usually ends up being over 25k. thats double the price of every car on that list pretty much.

 

RSX-S, I think that gives you something of everything the others give, you plus a higher level of refinement and it handles pretty damn good for a front drive car from the factory. The only thing it's really lacking is in the looks department, which would be a plus if you want a sleeper.

What's an EP Hatch?

Personally, I'd wait for the Suzuki SX-4

 

Used 2.3 if you wanna play. Fit if you want MPG.
