Since this is a Mazda forum, please convince me (if you want to) to buy a Mazda3 5dr instead of the 05 or 06 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon I'm leaning towards.
Me:
- coming from a reliable Honda Civic EX sedan
- I want a compact car
- This is my everyday commuter, fun drive, utility, family mover, lunch time napper, sometimes autocrosser, own it for 0-100k miles car.
- need the wagon or hatchback style for utility
- sunny california with no snow (but rain grip is important)
- budget $25-30
- want nav
- prefer AWD or RWD
- handling VERY important
- crash safety important
- will wait for 2006
