go drive them all, decide which one YOU like the best
they are all great reliable cars. you can read reviews all day long, but you have to drive it everyday and live with the payments

Why buy a brand new car only to get raped by the initial depreciation. Buy something that's a couple years old.  | |

"When the Toyota FT-86 concept was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, we were surprised and delighted at the prospect of an attractive, rear-wheel-drive 2+2 with a $20,000 price tag."
It's probably in American currency but It will probably be close to 30K CDN  | |

sorry if i was 'vague'
i'm borrowing money from my parents and paying them off (like financing)
while i would love to buy a used car, they had bad experience with used car and only advocate getting a new one as it has 'warranty'
thats why i'm trying to see what else have i missed that i should check out.
as to the fs-r, i am looking at that, but any news on when its coming out and price? last time i checked, it was estimated at 25k, but thats an estimate, and since this is canada, its probably 30k base...
