I'm most likely not going to get a used car. Unless a super awesome 2006 328i shows up for 15k (which is unlikely since all the ones i saw at the dealership (for cert) were 25k)

back in Nov. is when i started thinking about buying a car and my goal was Jan 2009 .. now its Feb 2009 and its time for action.. done my research and narrowed it down...

anyway, ok so we narrowed it down to the 3 options... and it seems like most of the votes here are for the Versa... me and the gf are going to go to the 3 dealerships and test drive the shit of the cars...

My prefrences are: City Golf -> Versa -> Accent
Her prefrences are: Accent -> City Golf -> Versa

The fit and yaris are kinda ugly and expensive but we will try to testdrive and get a quote.

Who knows what will happen after the test drives.. and maybe we can get some good deals if we both bought cars from the same dealerships

Golf: best looking imo, best 'standard' features, 2nd best warranty... lowest fuel numbers relative to the other 2.
Accent: comes in sky blue and lime green (h: ), has ok features, by far the best warranty and fuel economy... ugly, feels weak, interior sucks
Versa: ??? will look more indepth.
