3 months ago my girl bought a Black 2008 Honda Accord coupe... loaded with everything but navi and V6 for 23,800. I believe the V6 model was only 1500-2200 more.

In general Accords are pretty gay but the 08 coupe is a great looking car and has an extremely good interior for a car in its price range. My step brothers 2007 328ci is smaller, more exspensive, crappy dash layout, gay orange dash lights and doesn't have the size and room of the new Accord. The car is pretty sweet for the price range and with 270hp and a 6 speed they scoot pretty good for a Honduhh.

Mazda = FORD... no.



Shop like hell for a deal on a G8. You can do 30k out the door so there HAS to be a dealership around you guys that'll accomodate that price. The GTs are BITCHIN cars dude.

yeah that's ridiculous. you'd have to fit everything into two backpacks. its possible for you, but girls typically need a shitload more space.

+1 those cars are quick, probably wouldn't take much to take a f-body(boost controller, cia, and exhaust), and they very versatile. Its a nice looking car too, with those flared fenders.

I dont think a g8 will average that, its way heavier.

Has she looked at one of those VW GTI's??? Those are pretty cool, although they don't have the horsepower like some of the other cars mentioned.

I hate to say it, but a Mustang GT is under 30k and has 300hp.
