when i was shopping for a car last year, i did tons of research.

i test drove passat, GLI (jetta), accord, camry and altima.

after that i looked at price difference, reported quality and issues with cars over last 5 years. then gas milage vs horsepower for all of the above.

when you look at gas milage vs horsepower dont forget to look at type of fuel used as well.

a 20mpg/250hp car running on 91octane is alot different than 20mpg/250hp car running on 89octane...

also look at warranties even though most nowdays are really close to eachother.

another thing you should know is that all nissan vehicles come with timing chain nowdays. so at 100k or whatever it is you dont need to replace your timing belt you readjust the timing chain which saves you about 400$ or more right there.

basically whenever you like it or not alot of it is going to be based on your personal preference. like whenever or not you like the interior of a car or the look of it outside thats totally up to you.

but i will however say that you need quality and reliability numbers to look at as well. thats when you go on google and look for "issues with 2008 altima" or whatever it is you want to find.

one thing about the 350z is that they are not well engineered, i read online that they have uneven tire wear on all 4 tires, and suspension problems. im not sure if its the same for the new ones but since you said you were buying a used one i would say watch out.

also from my experience i will never buy another used car.

i bought a 2003 mitsu galant back in 05. it was 2 years old with only 49k kilometers on it, and seriously it was the biggest piece of shit. im now saving money by having a new car that is reliable and doesnt need 200$ a month to keep it on the road.

but thats just me.

oh and i know for a fact blazer has a 2 door altima, i asked him a few times about how he liked it and this and that about the car before i bought mine.

plus maximas dont come as coupe's.

i am looking for a nice looking car ( not luxary ofcoarse )
something that is fast and fun
something that can fit atleast 4 people in it
something that will last longer than 3 years
something that has good gas milage
something that isnt to expensive

well you may be interested to see jetta's and passat then because they are nice looking and have decent pull. only thing i can say about them is parts a more expensive to replace cause cars are german. and in early 2000-04 VW had sludge problems.

not sure about now.
you definetly want to look at accord, and altima, as well as toyotas knock off of the altima aka the new camry.

i dont look at domestics cause of the terrible resale value. however i have been warming up to ford fusion lately.
so maybe check that out.

all the cars i listed should fit 4 adults nicely, except for jetta. its got nothing for leg room in th back seat.

im not listing corolla or other cars in its class like the nissan sentra cause they seem guttless to me.
