I was going to go cheap and get a Scion xA, but between pressures from others (yea I know), being tired of stressing over it and finally seeing a 3 with the features I wanted, I thought what the heck...
What would you have gotten?

No way, Stinky. That Vette is way overpriced, should be about 8 to 10 thousand less, besides the fact that it's the complete opposite of what Jason425 has expressed he wants in a car. Jason425, the Mazda3 is a good choice for your needs. Mazda3s are supposed to be very reliable, and they have good engines.

For the price of that Vette, other alternatives would be a mid 90s M3, a pony car (or other muscle car), an 80s Esprit, or a 70s or 80s 911.

I would have gotten a Nissan Sentra SE-R. Though it probably would be higher priced than that once all the little addons come into place.

You should get that spoiler on eBay, it looks nice on the car.

Tyler, I don't like most Nissan's (styling), but i'm sure that thing is plenty fast.

you should have gotten a Toyota Corolla RS. Anyhow the spoiler would be a fine addition. Make sure you get better rims too. I suggest a 8 spoke one. I definitely suggest detailing that engine. Grabbing the same color paint as the outside of the car and painting those black covers. White would be an awesome color to use but not when you have oils and fluids to deal with.
