need help deciding which car is best

I'm new to cars, planning on buying my first brand new car, just not sure which car will be most dependable at my max budget of $30,000

just want a car that will last, and drives well (car noise doesn't bother me, mpg does a little, room doesn't its only me who will mostly be in it, repair cost I'm iffy on, other than I'm fine) if any other suggestions besides what i listed let me know pls... i just need some car enthusiast's opinions

i like these

2015 mazda 3 5-door; trim; s touring

2015 subaru wrx; trim; premium (automatic)

2015 mazda 6; trim; touring

2015 honda accord; trim; (sport or ex)

2015 nissan altima; trim; 2.5sv

The WRX is much more of a performance car than the others.

The Mazda 3 is considerably smaller than the others.

I would recommend the Mazda 3 or Mazda 6. Drive both and see which one you like more.

I also can recommend the Mazdas. I now own a 2015 CX-5 Touring AWD - replacing a 2010 Honda CRV. The Mazda is well engineered, gets excellent fuel economy, and performs very well.

Re: need help deciding which car is best

first of all,it is not necessary to worry about the mpg,because those cars that you listed are all japanese car so they all economic.

if you plan to go a long trip,Subaru might be the best choice because it have the most powerful engine,300horse power and has the best 4wheel drive system.on the other hand if you care more about space,the accrod is better,and more confortable.

mazda3 is more good for city small and handful,especially for daily work

There isn't currently a small Toyota with decent performance.
