But since Chris is going the cost conscious route, a 4 door vehicle will save you TONS.

Suby Imprezza has a base hp of 160 hp
Mazda 6 with a similar performance 4 cyl
(dare I say) a used Scion tC with the approx same 160 hp
Nissan Sentra Spec V (or whatever they are called)
Acura Integra 4 door

....any other used 4 cyl, 4 door cars?

Thats why I got the 4 door EX. Just got it for a daily driver and wanted to save money on gas. So I figured I'd save money on ins too by getting 2 more doors. plus the sedan is a nice looking vehicle IMO.

I highly doubt I will be getting a new car of any kind, maybe, just maybe a used one though.

ouch, that is one helluva wreck. glad you're in better shape than the car, and that the car did what it was supposed to in absorbing the brunt of it. and to whoever said that they are afraid of the safety of the car...ya, maybe the passenger wouldn't have made it out of this one, but i don't think there are many cars out there that could come out of this same scenario much better off. maybe the pope-mobile, or an brinks armored car. i feel pretty safe in my car, especially after seeing other people's accident pics.

I'll put them on the first page too.

Damn... tragedy! Glad you're okay. Glad the car took all the force.

This is a really cool pic, but in a wierd, scary way.

What kind of graduation party without booze? and where, in Mobile? Bizarro world. Also, testing for drugs in school every two months, never heard of that, but sure does sound like a good idea. Just wish city schools would adapt that.

Maybe if you had a passenger, this wouldn't happen coz he/she would be talking to you.

I don't know... woulda, coulda, shoulda...
