its not really enough money to get anything decent. another 10 to 15 grand is where all the fun starts.

[predator]

... i wouldn't even bother with a new car for that price range..

Don't get anything decent for that price (new) these days.. might just scrape in with a base model Impreza

I have to agree ....

I had to get it pit passed (worked for toyota) and even the guys at the pits go thats a nice car - what do they go like - so i handed them the keys and told them to see for themselves haha ... nice cars but $30,000 really doesnt buy u much new these days not to mention it probably doesnt have enough room for your dad .... VRX's are nice - triptronic so even tho they are auto they are still a bit of fun.

[Nizmo]

oh Base Suburu Liberty maybe? ...... RX i think u can just get for 30,000 over here now

rav 4 and stick a turbo in it

[Parag0n]

err I Dont think he will be allowed to modify it since its his work car and all...

[xboy]

My friend just bought a Mazda6 limited edition for $28k manual

or wait for the ultimate Mazda3!!!! very nice and sexy car!!!! should be releasing end of this year !!!

[Xeaon]

hey guys thanks for the suggestions.

Parag0n's right he will not be able to modify it lol. Would be nice though.

Xboy: I was just going to ask how much Mazda 6's go for, they do look good and about the car size my dad is looking for, maybe for $30grand he might be able to get some extras.

Hes not into hatches so the ultimate Mazda3 wouldn't be for him still looks nice. I like that blue.

Anyone have any good/bad comments on the new Mazda6? Thanks guys.

that's what I was going to say!!...but aren't they around $37K ?

[red900ss]

yeah probably Shell, Pug 206 GTi then!

Go the Mazda 6.

I belted one around for a day and was rather impressed.

For the money, it's size, quality and drivabilty are pretty hard to beat.

There are three trim levels and IMO the middle one is the go, however, it might be a squeeze getting that one in under thirty g.
