Mazda Hatchback 3 2008 maybe 2010 (~17-20g)
Kia Spectra 5 2009-2010 (~17-19g)
Audi A3 2006 2.0t (~14-19G depends on miles) - I am leaning a LOT at this car

I am leaning towards the audi because 1st it preforms great, it is cheap, low insurance cost, and looks great.

I kia is ugly IMO, but it would be BRAND NEW which I like, and KIA seems to make reliable cars, not a show off car, but still good, and very good MPG (the audi is pretty close though)

Mazda looks nice, I drove a non-hatchback and liked it but it was still kinda slow... I liked everything else though, I could afford it new under WARRANTY which is atractivre

I am looking for a 4 cylinder Hatchback decently fast (no racer but I want to be able to go when I need too around 6-7sec 0-60) Under 20,000 dollars

thank you very much for your help in my choice

In my mind it is between the Audi and the Mazda

I would choose the Mazda over the Kia , it's just a better car . The Audi is a great car and is a tier above the Mazda in quality and perhaps performance as well . For me it would depend on the particular cars . If it was a new Mazda versus a 2006 Audi , I'd probably go with the new car . If the years were basically similar or the same , I'd definitely go for the Audi ! Just my :2cents: and good luck with your choice !

Personally, I would choose the Audi because in my opinion they have better quality over the other two. Good luck with your choice. I am sure you'll be happy with whichever you choose.

Wait for the 2010 Ford Focus!
