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 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-whip-2007-civic-si/19816)._
