Good student car?
I am a soon-to-be college student, and i'm looking for a good car that will carry a decent amount of cargo, is reasonably priced, will get good MPG, be very reliable, etc. You guys have any reccommendations? I want something like a wagon that will carry all that I need it to, but I want it to look somewhat cool at the same time. Any reccommendations? I was kind of looking at the following:
PT Cruiser Toyota Matrix Scion tC (xA?) Mazda 3/6 Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Good student car?
IMO i wouldnt go with the pt cruiser or the matrix, but the mazda would be a good choice, get a base trim and it will be reasonably priced, so is the scion tc, the xA is small, not alot of room, but really cheap like 12 k

Re: Good student car?
the tC is not a very big car if you want cargo room. The Matrix is expensive but you can get a used one about a year old in your price range. I would either get a Matrix or a Mazda 3 Wagon.

Out of that selection I would go with the Mazda 3, the Toyota is overpriced (even w/ the engine
) the Scion is heavy and the PT cruiser is ugly the only one left is the mazda.

the car does weigh less than 3,000lbs. the mazda3 also costs a considerable amount of more money with the same features as the tC. toyotas quality > mazdas quality
