So you'd rather have a new Mazda 3 for the same money as a 3 year old BMW 330Ci with 36,000 miles on it? You're crazy.

For the money he's looking to spend on a new car, he can easily pick up a used G35 sedan. I know my wifes car has a residual less than his new car limit. It's not a large car in terms of interior room, but RWD and 260HP is nice and she cruises at 80mph (braeking the law, breaking the law-bannination imminent) all day very nicely. Todd

And the verdict?
My friend is now driving around the backroads outside of Charlotte, NC in a brand new '05 titanium grey Mazda 3s.
The 3s comes with the 160hp/150 ft-lb 2.3L inline four. He also chose the 4 speed auto which comes with a manual shift feature, sunroof and alloy sport wheels. All in all, he was out the door for ~17.9K which he said was about 2K less than a similarly equipped Impreza 2.5RS. While it's not a Subaru, I can't say I'm dissapointed with his choice. It's a great car! Thanks for all the suggestions guys. When upnygimp suggested the Mazda 3, I mentioned it to him, and he said he had to get one as the 2.3L in the 3s makes the car way more peppy than the same 2.3L in a 6i. -Chike

It's a great car with good gas mileage. And, the interior has pretty good quality.
Chike, do you think those 5 lug 17" wheels with fit into an SVX? They look good to me.

If 5x114.3 fits a SVX, then yes. Not sure about offset.

LGT, IMO, isn't a "tool's" car. Its actually quite nice. And I think the "tool" status for the WRX comes in when you slap a wing on the back.

While this will still clear the rear calipers, I seriously doubt it'll clear the front ones... -Chike
