2001 mazda protege mp3
My mp3 has been a great car we will more than likely keep it but need something newer and more reliable. Just want input on the options of what we want, and any major issues they have that you guys know about.Anyway here is what I've been looking into that offers what I want

1st or 2nd gen tc in white or the weird primer grey 2nd gen one

1st or 2014 Mazda 3 in white or celestial blue

Kia optima, they handle surprisingly well and have plenty of power

1st gen ms3 ( for obvious reasons)

Subaru legacy gt

Mazda 6

Cx5

What I'm looking for is something comfortable ( I have back issues) reliable plenty of head and foot room (I'm 6'2, hard to find something I can see red lights) above 30mpg and automatic, decent after market support nothing major probly springs and aesthetics . I know the speed 3 doesn't meet any of those requirements but I fell in love when I drove one. I also know this isn't the place to ask but it is the place for the best answers
 
Check out Ford Fusion. Their engineering and design has greatly (it HAD to) improved...
 
Well we've set a price cap at 14k so that takes out the 2014 Mazda 3 the cx5 and the optima. If its something we both really like.

I did find a legacy gt for 13.5 but its not an auto but 50k miles with a new clutch makes me want to say no, only a few reasons you can kill a stock clutch that fast
