Author's Review

When I was shopping for cars I was looking for cars that were unique, fun to drive, and practical. At a budget of about $ 20,000 that does not leave much to look at. Sure there's the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec: Boring exterior, plain cheap looking interior, Hp is good(175), 6-speed also adds a nice touch to the performance aspect of the car, and the optional moonroof is a nice feature. At a used price of about $ 12,000 - 15,000 it not a bad deal just not what I was looking for. Then there's the ever popular Volkswagen Jetta/Golf 1.8t: The First and only thing I will say is that the price is just too high for a car that has one of the worst reliability ratings in Consumer Reports Magazine. I also looked at the Dodge SRT-4: First I have to say that my buddy has one, and I strongly concidered buying one, and still would, I liked the hood scoop, aggressive front clip, the fact that it's a turbo w/ 235 Hp on tap that equals a 0-60 time 5.6 sec. STOCK is pretty tempting, but I didn't like that the back windows are manual and there is nothing to really distinguish the inside of it from the base model, and Iv'e often questioned the reliability of the company. Then there's the 2003.5 MAZDASPEED: RARE only 2000 second series(without foglights, different spolier and wheels) units were produced, so it's already limited. Mazda also went to some of the biggest companies in the tuner sagment; For suspension and exhaust they went to Racing beat who has been tunning Mazda's for 30 years, believe me it HANDLES!, for more power(boost!!)Mazda requested the help of CALLAWAY Cars who teamed up with Garrett T25 turbo which is rated up to 250 Horsepower. Kenwood lent them a 450 watt sound system with MP3 player(sounds great!), Racinghart did a one off for the 17 x 7 wheels. They inlisted the help of world renowned interior masters Sparco. So it has the uniqueness, its got the boost, and its got the very well designed interior. It's a blast to drive, it might not be the fastest car off the line(0-60 6.9 sec.) but it will out handle just about anything on the road today.
