New Car

I spent my lunch hour today and yesterday looking at the next car I want to purchase. Hopefully I will be able to pay off my student loans before having to make this decision (as long as the Lumina doesn't die on me in the meantime.) My initial thought is the BMW Z4, but at a pricetag of $50,000, it just isn't reasonable yet. So, my next top 3 pics are:

1. Mazda MX-5 Miata
MPG 22/28
Price: $25,000


2. Pontiac Solstice
MPG 22/28
Price: $27,000


3. Honda Civic Coupe
MPG 29/34
Price: $20,000



All the cars have manual 5/6 speed transmission (yay!) and are listed with their new 2009 prices. Obviously the Civic is the way to go because it is cheaper, gets better gas milage, has lower insurance, and is pretty fun to drive. However, I wanna get a nice car before I'm 50!
