A friends car was stolen and he will get about 4K from insurance. He has always been a japaneese rice burner type driver but likes some of the frills in my Buick PA.

He wants a 6 cyl, pwr seats, auto headlights with all the regular features like CD, electric windows etc... Moisture sensing wipers and heads up display would be really cool. He is looking to stay under 20K and hopes to be a new car. Any suggestions?

He's considering the Ford fusion but I know he can do better than that for 20K. What about the Mazdo 3? Are those any good?
