thanks for that Sav.

I looked at the cobalt SS, ion redline, mazda 3, and the spectra. I think the spectra is lacking in the power area. only 138.

id have to push to about 20k for any of those others, with the mazda being about 18k. I am not a real big fan of the design of the saturn. But they are good cars. And given the fact that import cars are keeping a higher resell value than domestic the Mazda is looking like its on the leader board.

Like I said this is all speculation and things may change over the next few months but thanks for the input guys.


I still like the idea of getting a newer cheaper car and then modding the tour.
