That I'll will no longer be an owner of a DSM (even though i can't believe that car could be considered one). I am either trading in the beast or selling it on ebay and I am debating which car I should get. I have narrowed it down to a ~99-01 cavalier (or sunfire), Focus ZX3, or (Gasp) a Civic. Tell me which of these you think would do fo me.

P.S. Don't think this is easy for me. I consider any of these cars I get as me settling instead of getting a turbo'd DSM

Jordan, I gotta agree with a lot these guys are saying. In the past two years or so, I have gotten to the point that when I go in to get a new car, it's a matter of how much I have to add to the price to cover the payoff on my old car. It's become a fact of life. I'm almost to the point of selling my brand new truck because the payment, insurance, gas, and everything else is killing me. I'd rather drop $1500-3000 into a decent car, and have what I would have spent on a payment to do the repairs, mods, or just set it in the bank for a while. "new cars aren't all they are cracked up to be. I hate having other people do work on my cars, and with a warranty, I have no choice. Plus parts for the new cars (once they are out of warranty) are very expensive. That's part of what I love about the DSM's. I can find used or aftermarket parts for cheaper than factory, do the labor myself, and have a car that I know will perform. Plus, when the thing doesn't get fixed right, I know who to blame! :wink: Just think long and hard about it.

Get what YOU want. Try not to let anyone TELL you what to get (not even me :wink: ). I've been there before, and I end up hating it, and getting something else in a matter of a few months.

Just my .03
