- I was thinking about a Corolla or Civic and leaning towards the Corolla because it has a timing chain and the Civic has the timing belt, which looks like more maintanace.-
 
The 2006 Civic engine uses a timing chain, instead of a belt.

Than ask the same 16 year old when he/she finally matures ( 35 years on up ) and knows something about interior/exterior design, what car they would prefer....Corolla
 
What, when people age they prefer cars with bigger hips than they do when they are teenagers?
 
Someone forgot to tell my dad. He had Civics from 1982, 91, 93, 95, 98, and was born in 1958. He picked these over Corollas, proteges, Stanzas, and other nineties small cars.
 
He now has a 2005 Accord (still prefers Honda's over the BOR-ING Toyota's).

Have you considered a Subaru OutbackSport (Impreza) special edition. It is at about the same price, but a lot more of a car, 2.5 liter, all wheel drive, all safety feature satandard, etc.. It makes more sense if you have snow in the winter. A Camry or Altima is also in the same price range. A Sentra 1.8s special edition is only $13,500. Anyone of these has more torque than a Civic, in daily driving.

I have a Subaru Dealer (Jim Burke Subaru/Isuzu/ et. al.) near where I go to school, and have searched their lots many times in my free time between classes and labs. Try finding an Outback for under $20k...its impossible at this dealer anyway. Not a thing under $21k...most things around $23k (i used to look at Forresters before I drove the new Accord). An automatic base Impreza starts right at $20k

Outback is 23K+. OutbackSport is actually an Impreza. My local dealer offered me 20K even, tax included, ~$700 below invoice, on 01/31 (end of month). It is a Special Edition, MT, 2.5 liter, upgraded sound system, leather wheel, AWD, everything I would have wanted. Just I had to buy the 14.7K Sentra (also tax included, everything wanted, except for MT & AWD) to save money for my son's tuition.

Yeah, I searched the Subie site to see what you were talking about and figured out that its an Imp.
 
Sounds like you were offered a steal on it!
 
I bet by "Honda year-end clearance" time prices on Civics will become a lot more reasonable at dealers (no more MSRP-only).

It looks rough, yes, but remember, if these sales are anything like mine was in Novemeber, Accords were kind of hard to come by right after the "butt-lift".
 
May I ask where the numbers come from?
 
Also, As far as Malibu/G6, Camry, and Corolla are all concerned, all have rental sales, too. Especially the Malibu and G6, the G6 will be getting more norw because the 4-cyl model (read-cheap) is now available.
 
Also, I just realized that you have combined the nunbers of the two, g6 and chevy
