I'm Buying a New Car... What Should I Get?

[ASTalumna06]

Thanks for all of the quick responses!

My mom actually has a Civic, and I've driven it a few times and I do really like it. Someone here mentioned the dashboard.. I LOVE the set-up of it. I wish they had that same configuration in every car.

I just didn't want to jump into buying it without exploring other options.

I drive a Toyota Matrix, my husband drives a Ford Focus, and my sister drives a Mazda 3. I absolutely *love* my car and firmly believe that my car wins out of our three cars. My husband prefers my sister's car, and she does as well. Mine, however, came with so many more features standard, and is much easier to drive. My family members who actually enjoy driving seem to prefer the Mazda, but those of us who hate to drive and want the experience as simple and easy as possible prefer my Toyota. (No one really likes the Focus ...)

not sure where you are. If you consider Matrix, then consider the AWD if your location warrants it.

If you can get a Pontiac Vibe then you basically have a Matrix because Vibe has Toyota engine in it.

Another vote for my civic! I love driving it and I've been in a few accidents and it's still alive

I drove a Focus one time while the civic was in the shop when I was rear ended and liked the Focus but not quite as much as my Civic!
