Which of these small cars do you think is the better choice?
These may not be the most popular choices but I'm considering these three because they are my favorites in terms of styling compared to other competing cars.
2008 Ford Focus
2007 Nissan Sentra
2007 Mazda 3
I'm looking to buy used obviously, and most likely high mileage to save money, anything from 90 to 120 or so and specifically the year model body styles mentioned. All 4 door, 2.0l, automatic versions.
The Mazda is the "oldest" design of these cars and the only slight issue with that is no standard side curtain airbags on most of them, and the stock audio only supports CD (I think). The Focus was new for the 2008 year and that usually means more bugs that need worked out over all. The Sentra has the least issues reported on the CarComplaints website, but it's also the biggest of the three cars so I'm curious if the ride feels any different, or if that makes the car any more sluggish than the other two (power is NOT a priority).
I'm wondering how these three cars compare as for as reliability, cost of DIY repairs, handling, and just best value for the money.
I would get the nissan, japanese cars are better.
It appears that the Focus and Sentra do have stand side airbags while Mazda 3 has it optional on some trim variations. The Mazda 3 is geared for better acceleration and still gets the same fuel economy. The Sentra dimensions are roomier inside while the Focus is smaller. It appears that the 2008 Focus is based upon the 2004 - 08 Mazda 3 platform. So I like the Sentra with manual transmission. The A/T is a CV type and will need rebuilding before the manual.
I'd get the Mazda
I personally find the 2008 Focus' to be ugly but i do like the Mazda3's and they're the same motors so i'd go with the Mazda. Never been a fan of the Sentra's
Mazda is the most fun to drive, but the interior is very small compared to the other. Nissan has the largest cabin space, but that affects the handling. Focus is like in the middle between both when it comes to space and driving.

- Which would be a better choice for a sports car: a Mustang GT or a Corvette c6? The mustang gt is 2005-2008ish, and the corvette c6 is 2005-2007ish. I'm leaning to the corvette since they're worth more money and I always have been a fan of corvettes, but then the mustang can fit 4 people while the vette only seats two. Which would be the better choice?
