Talk to the leasing company on your current car. They're always willing to negotiate a better buyout, because it saves them a lot of hassle. Remember to include the disposition fee in your negotiation, as you likely paid that up front.

i love my current car. i just want a new car. i dont want to buy out cause im greedy and want a NEW one. it has nothing to do with the condition/performance of my current car.

Get the one with the best MPG. Fuel prices will go up again. I personally would go with American only unless there was a Porsche involved.

i was thinking that same thing. however, i also live in NE ohio and my all wheel drive has saved me a few times. Im not sure if the extra MPG would be worth the hassle in the winter.

Kick Ohio winter's ass!

My best bud just got a 09 ford focus. It's very nice and it gets great gas mileage. The fusion is a tad better but both are really nice. Just wanted to throw it out there.

if you're thinking of a lancer, take my advice. Get the GTS! You've driven my car and raced me in yours. I would shy away from Mazda 3's I've driven them, and was really unimpressed. The 6 is fun though.

A buddy of mine has a Subaru Legacy and he absolutely loves, swears he won't ever drive anything else.

my brother works for Honda in Marysville, he says to buy a honda! But seriously, if that's what you're down to...I think you're a winner. I would take any one of them. For driving purposes, the Impreza would be my choice. If I'm in the mood to be a conscious buyer, I'd probably buy the civic hybrid. I have no doubts the Legacy is nice, but for as big of a guy as I am, I like a smaller car to tool around in.

I've never known a Subaru owner who subsequently bought aything other than a Subaru. You could break that trend.

I would go with a Toyota Camry SE V-6 , they are very sporty with the ground effects, have very good power, handle like a dream (even with a deer hangin' off the hood ) beautiful car, I get 26-27 miles per gallon driving up and down the mtn every day and more on a trip.....resale will be better or as good as any you mentioned. Plus plenty of room (incase of any little Kuzi's) and can still with sunroof be had at or very close to your price range...

And by the way if you buy a Subaru---Toyota owns 20% of Subaru--purchased from GM late 2005 ...

buying a honda doesn't help our economy though... shame on you brandon!!!

And keeping all those people employed definitely helps our economy.
