Be careful with leases...you usually can't put more than 15 miles a day on the car if you lease it. (Probably not a big deal in K-town, but you'll want to drive your new car because it's new).

And Mazdas are made by Ford now. Keep in mind that you're swapping one Ford for another.

I'd go with ya, but I have to work on Wednesday. I love car dealerships.

It depends...most cheap leases limit you to about 12K miles a year, or 32 miles a day. Some are even less than that. (I was exaggerating a bit in my last post).

Either way, that's not a whole lot of miles. Also be sure to check with the repair/maintenance policies...they may require you to come to the dealership for all maintenance (including whatever they want to charge for an oil change).

I dunno...it might be the way to go for you, but I've never really heard anything good about leasing cars.

if you want another american made car.. buy a mazda 3 or 6, the new ones are made in america not japan anymore.

I'll go even further and suggest that, if you are going to buy an American car, don't buy a Mazda. I'd suggest a Saturn Ion, Chevy Cobalt.

Now's a good time to check out the new Toyota Yaris' as well.

i had to rent a chevy cobalt when i was waiting for my new car to arrive and it was a piece of ass. just forget american made vehicles. they dont last and they have bad gas mileage.. go german or japanese, always.

Not always true...Saturns don't fit your description of American cars.

I suggest Japanese OVER German as well. Repair bills are almost always cheaper and I hear about a lot more fluke Lemons in Bavarian cars than I do in Toyotas or Nissans.

Fuck Honda.

Well if you want my car you can have it... I'm looking to get an SUV and get rid of my sports car. What I have now is not very drivable with a car seat when the baby comes. Well talk to you later,

Timmy
