Mazda 3 hatch. hands down. interior & handling in a dd. is key. i dont know how much of fords ownership rubbed off on mazda for reliability sake, but it still has to be better than any GM product. and I kinda like the tc for a chick to drive. “not now chief im in my Tc.” ---

First off, are you looking for a small car or a mid-sized car? That will eliminate half your list. ---

Climatronic is standard. Cold Weather Package $205. Heatable front seats and washer nozzles. available on both 2 and 4 door as far as I can tell. dorchel rochester has a whole field of them out back in 5spd, just pick a color. ---

06 GTO with low miles for probably around 19-22K could probably find an 04 for around 15-18K. Fun cars to drive/cruise in just FYI ---

A friend of mine has a Mazda 3s, 4 door leather with the 2.3 duratec and 5spd. I absolutely love the damn car. Very comfortable, good gas mileage, handles like a go kart. Its also very good in the snow suprisingly. I would buy one in a heart beat for a daily driver. Go test drive an SVT focus if you can find one around. ---

The cold weather package isn’t listed on the VW website for the 2-doors. And Dorschel is currently sold out of 5-speed 2 doors ☹ ☹ ---

they can get them if you show up with cash. the cold weather package just isn’t documented well on the website for some strange reason. heated seats for the 2 door show up as “p” which I have no idea, almost looks like a typo. ---
