WOW!! This has been the best day ever! I found out am getting a refund on my "lemon" car that I have battling about w/ the manufactuerer since last August - that was a LONG drawn out process! But it has been so worth it! I found out I am getting a superb job - I have been trying to get a job with this worldwide well known company for a couple of years, and I just got word I have been hired - for a lot more $ than what I am making now! I am just so excited :)

It was/is a 2003 Ford ZX2 Escort. I will never ever ever! buy another Ford product. (If I remember correctly, you are from the KC area) I bought the car at Olathe Ford, they ended up refusing, yes refusing to service my vehicle. I had the car less than a year and the transmission had to be replaced- it was messed up from then on! Do not buy this kind of car. They are affordable, but there are so many other GOOD cars out there that are affordable too. Again, I will never buy another Ford product, my family and friends won't either!

I'm also looking at the Corolla's. They are very decient priced. However, I am leaning toward a Mazda3. I have done a lot of research on these 2 vehicles and they are very comparable in body, price, style, etc. The Mazda's warranty is a little longer, 4 yrs/48000 miles, that is a plus. Let me know what you decide - I will be purchasing w/in 30 days so let me know if you hear of any good deals in KS at car dealerships!
