| about 17k to spend, what car can i get?
I'm looking for a used ride, good on gas, mid to good storage space in trunk.
I've been looking at the 2006ish Mazda 3
but i'm taking suggestions, i'm just not sure what to look for.
Nissan Sentra? Honda Accord? i don't know, just taking suggestions.
Four door, 4 cylinder, Power everything. Decent looking.
no kia, or hyundai suggestions plz.

you gotta give more criteria in a car. a civic sedan is relatively good on gas, decent trunk size.

i was thinking about the versa, i will go check it out soon. I like the whole cockpit feel of a car, like i like how the mazda 3 feels like its wrapping around you when you sit in it. Nissan's have that same feel as well.

Mazda6 2.3
Using it as rental I'm quite impressed by the packaging. Mazda3 is great too of course but 6 would be much larger. Otherwise mechanically similar.

02 bugeye wrx, with the spare change you can make some improvements or just save the cash.
4 door, awd, turbo, fun and has enough room to fit 8 people if you have one friend lying on the floor and 1 sitting on another guy's lap.

all good suggestions... i was looking at the WRX. It may be definitely an option. they are less expensive than i thought they would be.
Audi is also a good suggestion. Thanks.

He did say he wants a 4 door.
parked my MZ6 next to a bugeye yesterday and the MZ6 is at least 1ft+ longer.
So it kind of depends on what you are looking for, space or performance?
