You have to compare apples to apples. New vs New. ---

> [@BikerFry](#): > > Well I’d go with that nicely broken in G35C for less. Or a whole host of other slightly used cars for $25k that are in a whole different league. As for new, a V6 Tiburon is low 20’s, not 27k. Sure, a WRX sedan can be optioned out to be over 28k, or you can get a brand new Saab WRX wagon for $22k after rebates. You can get a new V6 Eclipse for mid 20’s, but nobody around here seems to like 4g Eclipses. > > But whatever, it’s an awesome car so congrats on buying what you wanted! Just because it’s not how I’d spend 25k doesn’t mean shit. Enjoy! It’s an awesome car! i see what you are saying, and i looked at exactly what you said. ruling out used, because i definitely wanted a BRAND NEW car… comparing apples to apples, if you look at new sport compact cars, you have the following choices: 1. cobalt SS 2. mazdaspeed 3 3. wrx 4. gti 5. tC (i guess?) 6. tiburon v6 (i guess?) 7. civic si in my mind, i ruled out the cobalt because of relatively low gm historic resale value (which DOES factor into a new car buying decision, but most people dont think of it… more cash inflow at the end = less overall cashflow attributable to the car). not a big fan of the gti’s styling. i test drove it and loved the way it drove, but wasnt a huge fan of the way the car was configured. tC isnt quick enough for what i wanted. wrx was a few thousand bucks out of my price range, even for the “TR” version. the tiburon is a dime a dozen, no thanks. the mazdaspeed 3 was an option, but i am not enthralled mazda’s quality givin some of the consumer reports i have been reading. thats what led me to the civic. i drove it, fell in love with the stying, heritage, motor, V-TECH y0, and cut myself a great deal. it worked out very nicely for me. and i did NOT pay 25k for my car 😃 and dont ask what i did pay, cause i wont tell 😉 ---

For a Civic. That’s because the Civic has: 1. Replaced the RSX (and is comparable in every way) 2. Been replaced at the low-end by the Fit. ---

I guess I don’t have a clear feel for just how expensive new cars are, and am a bit hung up on the “Civic” badge on the thing. Cool that you got a good price too. How long is the warranty on it? ---

Well, aparently GM’s SS models hold their value a bit better…I went to Mitsubishi, to look at an EVO 9 SE, and they were actually willing to give me almost 18k for my car as a trade in…but either way the new civic is indeed a pretty nice car…not my cup of tea, but nice none the less… ---

yeah, new cars definitely are expensive… i would prefer that they were free 😃 powertrain is 3/36k i got a full exterior and paint warranty for 10yrs… against all stone chips, corrosion, rust, scratches etc… including the pesky rusting from the inside that happens to hondas sometimes… ---
