Good sporty looking car for future driver?

Question

i'm getting my license soon and i'm looking to buy a cute sporty looking car used for under $10k. i like the mazda 3. but i've noticed that all the pontiac G5's are 6 cylinder so they must eat up gas right? a lot of pontiacs i saw were 2006's and they are less than 10,000 which kind of was odd. do you think that pontiac G5s eat up gas? are they reliable? help please and give me some suggestions for sporty looking cute cars for a girl! thanks!

Answer 1

We bought my step-daughter a black Mazda 3, and she loves it...It's a really cute car!!

Answer 2

Get a 3000 GT, they are fast and cute as h**l. haha

Answer 3

The Pontiac G5 is not available in a 6 cylinder.  It only comes in a 4.  It is a rebadged Chevy Cobalt.

Regardless, stay away from a Pontiac G6 or G5.

Stick with a good, reliable car like a Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, or Subaru Impreza.

Answer 4

I agree with the last answer. the Mazda 3 is hard to beat. It's sporty looking, drives sporty and gets great gas mileage. Those Pontiacs have really low resale values. That's why they are under $10K. Reliable isn't generally a strong point on Pontiacs. Get the Mazda 3. I remeber the President of Toyota saying that if GM wants to get out of their financial rut, they should discontinue poor selling car lineups like Pontiac. Most new ones are bought by rental-car agencies. That further hurts the value of the car. Like I've mentioned before, get the 3. You'll be glad you did.
