Post Looking for a good car. <15k

I'm sure you have read this post 100's of times over but i am looking for a new car and i am not sure what to get.

My criteria:
-Stylish
-Got Some Balls (0-60 <6.5)
-Low Maintenance costs
-Under 15k

Some cars i have been looking at
-2005 Cadillac CTS (love this but looks a little long)
-2004 Mazda RX-8 (rumored high maintenance)
-2006 Mazda Speed6 (little up in my price range)
-2005 Ford Mustang (fuel economy cant afford V8)

So as you see i have a wide assortment of vehicles i am interested in, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, i would also like to hear from some CTS and RX-8 owners to let me know how they like them.

Thanks!!

The Mustang doesn't really get bad fuel economy. My dad gets over 20 mpg with his.

I like the mustang but i wouldn't want the V6, I think I'm going with the CTS as soon as summer rolls around and i can find some way of getting a loan.

Go for the Ford Mustang. Contrary to hearsay, it is a really cool car that wouldn't require you to gas up much. It is sleek and really an eye candy plus it is more affordable than the speed 6, more sophisticated than a cadillac and is less maintenance, too.

Hope this helped.
