I'm looking for a cheap (15 k) car. I'm moving to a city with small street parking, so a subcompact is best. Ideally, I would buy a used miata, but there aren't any cheap ones around here with low mileage and a good history. If I am spending 15k, I'd rather buy new if I can't get the miata.
My priorities are new, subcompact, and great handling. I drive very conservatively, so acceleration and straight line speed aren't what I am concerned about.
Have you looked for a CPO Miata? It would probably still be a bit over that budget but if it's the car you really want....Dealer near me has a 2010 grand touring with under 10K miles for $19K.
Just buy a compact. With 15K you should be able to get a Mazda 3 (2013-the older version), or a new Ford Focus. Both handle very well. I have test driven the stick shift on both.
Scion XB.. The 04 - 07 have plenty of room, great gas mileage and are a cool little car.. ( hint if you needed to move a small piece fo furniture or even wood for a project you can fit it in this model... You can even fit a piece fo lumber 8 ft long) The 08 - present are a bit bigger outside and a little smaller inside....
My brother just bought a new Dodge Dart Rallye last week end. 38 mpg, roomy and stylish interior and even though his was just over $17,000 the SXT model can be had for closer to $15,000. Dealers in my area are offering $2500-$3000 of msrp.
I love my Mazda2. Haven't had a moment's problem with it in the three years I've had it, and it does indeed take up very little space.
