Yeah to be honest I really like both cars and will drive both again. Just having trouble deciding. I know Saturn has revamped its lineup so its resale may pick up but I'm unsure. I was in the market for a hatchback initially but I do like the civic as well...
As for the mazda's and the subaru's while I like both vehicles I prefer the civic and the astra to both of these cars. I haven't actually driven a subaru yet, but the gas mileage does not impress me.. I drove a mazda 3 yesterday and thought it was a nice car but when put in the same range as the Astra and the Civic I prefer both over the mazda.
Mitsubishi has brutal financing though I enjoyed driving the Lancer..
I really can't decide they both have pro's. Though I think if I knew the saturn would be an ok resale I'd probably choose it because it has way more options and I have to put down less money. Honda is 3.9% financing, and the saturn is 0%... Shopping for a vehicle drives me crazy!!
