Ladies and gents, I believe the time has come for me to look for a new car and move away from the GTP. I've been driving this car for 10 years, and it has been a blast (when it hasn't been in pieces in the garage)! The rack and pinion is going out and the chassis has 180K, so everything that I haven't upgraded over the years (and some of the older upgraded pieces) needs to be replaced. I have become a bit burned out by constantly having to attend to the car's needs. Maybe if I didn't HAVE to work on it, I might just keep it to play with since it really isn't worth much...
I'm somewhat looking at the Chevy Sonic, the Mazdaspeed 3, or whatever else is comparable (small-ish sporty hatch). Do any of you have some input for or against anything in the category? I'm leaning a little more toward the Mazda, but haven't checked out all of the options yet.
