Anyways, any recommendations that you could make would be appreciated. Based on research in the Consumer Report and talking to people, I've been looking at Hyundai Elantra's, Honda Civic's and Fit's, Mazda 3's and Toyota Carolla and Matrix (all 2008 models).

I'd like to buy new as well, although I might look at used cars.
id defineately go for the civic if i were you man, its a good looking car, pretty decent on gas, just not sure how itd hold up in the winter tho.
