25k?

Alright, I need your advice guys...

I have, after tax, 25k to work with in buying a _new_ car.

I'd like something that is comfortable to drive (I have hour commutes next year to school), and something with some nice acceleration.

I'm not looking to buy an older car, or to put aftermarkets on my current Civic...

I'd also like something that holds it's value so I can resell it in a few years...

So what do you think?

the acura tsx is a very nice luxiorus looking car.

but from what im hearing on your comments, im guessing a nice acura or toyota. their value will give u a better cost compared to honda/dodge/ford/mitsubishi/etc.

but thats just my .02

I heard good stuff about the new Mazdas. My friend bought a 3, and it's pretty sweet except for the 4x4 look with stock 17" rims. It's his first car too, lucky ***.

front view -
side view -
rear view -

but i havent paid too much attention to those because i know i cant afford one


i say go down to the dealers and test drive every car that attracts your interest and narrow it down. again, i think Acura's & Toyota's can keep a good value when you plan to sell the car.

im surprised people are still buying these 80's corollas for couple hundred still

hope you find the car you want

25k out the door tax reg. ect... get the RSX especially the S model if it still fits your budget. Nothing holds its value like a Honda product.
