The chevy Equinox is built exclusively in Canada with a chineese V6 engine. The fuel filler door is still on the passenger side. Does anyone else notice or do those with passenger sided gas fillers struggle at the filling station. Otherwise it looks great if you can get over the other stuff. This is why cars like the Venza and Santa Fe look so appealing.

Is the direct injection I4 I mentioned built in China also?
 
My personal car has the fuel filler on the passenger side and my other vehicles have it on the driver's side. Walking a few feet around to the passenger side to fill up the car twice a month doesn't bother me. There are a lot more important things in picking a car, to me.

Looked at the Elantra Touring... a nice ride... Hyundai has definitely improved. Dang salesman was desperate.
 
The Suburu Impreza Outback looks like it fit's my bill as well...
 
I compared it to the 2010 Mazda s HB in celestial blue...OMG. After test driving the Mazda... I just had to leave the dealership. I had too much of a grin on my face....
I really think the 5 door Hatchback with the 2.5L 6 speed manual may end up being my pick. It was so... fun to drive. I think the salesman knew I was in love.... that's why I had to leave... How can you negotiate when you know you want it!
 
Hee hee...
 
The practical side of me... may change my mind.... but that's really the car I want. *sigh*

Actually, all of my current cars have the filler on the passenger side. It was a pain when I had a stable that included both sides. I could never remember which was which.
 
In any case, it can be a bit annoying at times. I'm always concerned with blocking people in who have it on the driver's side and are at the first pump in the island. If I nose up to them, they have to reverse out. And another note, which isn't a problem for me at 6'5", but I can see it being a problem for shorter folks with bigger cars, stretching across the passenger seat to pass your money/credit card out the passenger window to the attendant (unless you live in a self-serve state).
 
Anyway, it doesn't have any bearing on what car i choose.

If that's the car you really want and you can afford it, why not get it? Life is short.

Well... it really is about whether or not I can afford it. But you are correct! Life is short!

How about a USED Mazda3s hatch? Still a great car, and you'll save thousands off new.

My son is looking to buy a new car. Something safe, not too expensive etc. What would be some of the best options?
Thanks, BMW

In the under $15,000 category, I'd look at something like a two or three year old Accord. Plenty of safety features, a frugal engine, and still halfway fun to drive.
