I need help picking a car

[BlueMonsta]

Hello,

Although I'm a Mazda fan, and current own a protege. I still want to know what options I am open to. I have a MAX $500 cdn / 60 month budget.

What cars can I get with that budget?
Mazda 3
Mazda 3 sport
Mazda 6 I4
Mazda 6 V6?
Corolla
Matrix
What else?
(no hondas, I dun like how soft their suspension is)

Thanks
