I will be getting a new car in September, but I like to have all my research done before the purchase.. right now I have narrowed the cars down to 3 possible choices, I know they are not really in the same ballpark, but I am open to any ideas. However the car must meet some requirements before it can even be considered.

1) I have to be able to fit two full grown American Bulldogs in it (at the same time)

2) 28+ MPG Highway

3) Available in MT

4) No Coupes

Please make any suggestions for cars too, anyways on to the list..

- Acura TL-Type S
- Mazda 3 5 Door
- Fit Sport

PS : Again, please make suggestions for any other cars.. so far the Mazda 3 seems the most logical..

 

i say get teh fit. the mazda 3 doesnt get nearly the mpg as teh fit. and the TL shouldnt be compared to the fit or mazda

 

its not being compared, I like it.. and it gets +28MPG The Mazda3 gets 34mpg too

 

New TL-S? How can you NOT want the TL-S. Only downside is it needs premium fuel. Everything else is well... PREMIUM compared to the Fit and the Mazda3.

 

why is the fit and the mazda even on the list?
TL Type-S is pure ****ing sex!


that thing slammed on stock wheels is even sexy

 

Yup, I wish I had the money for a TL-s.

 

I agree with everybody about the TL, the only issue so far is.. covering the seats for the dogs in the back.. if the even fit! Actually, covering the seats is easy its covering the door panels I am worried about, any ideas?

 

does this mean mazdaspeed 3?

 

You could try tucking someone between the door panels and doors? Youll have to remove them slightly.

 

Can anybody think of any other cars to recommend? How about an Si Sedan?

 

8th gen Si's.... :-/

Acura TSX?

 

TSX is okay.. it seems like a lower end TL though..

 

TL-S...Duh.
lol

Tyler

 

What about a VW GTI or Jetta 2.0T? They are comfortable, relatively quick and not the lamest thing on the road ( that distinction goes to Toyota Echo).

 

get an echo. theyre amazing.

 

Yet you want a Mazda3?

 

Get an 8th Gen Si. I have one, and i love it, its a great addition for some power and great handling, plus a bunch of space, and btw i avg 26-28 mpg on mine, so you'll be fine.

 

VW , if anything goes wrong is crazy to get repaired..
If your battery dies, it will only jump ONCE, after that you will need to take it to get re-programmed and replace the battery probably.

 

So far we have a close vote, the TL type S or another Fit..
