Im thinking of buying a mazda 3 2.0, any ideas? Gas consumption? 2006 models negative feedbacks? I have a 2.0 ford lynx RS, and so far the gas consump was ok for me, are they the same consumption?

If ever any alternatives for the same budget? Also does financing helps or worsen the buying of the car?

And I totaled my last car, but the engine area is as good as nothing happened, where can I sell it?
