    If you were to buy a new car w/ a semi-automatic transmission, w/in the 500k-1M bracket, what car would you choose? (considering also economy, style)

    Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 (GLS & MX) & 1.8 (MX Limited)
    Honda City/Jazz CVT (DSi and VTEC)
    Mazda3 (S,V,R)
    Ford Focus (1.8 & 2.0 Sport)

    I would choose the Focus 2.0 Sport.

    Any other opinions out there??

    if you are going to just base it on the transmission... I'd pick the City/Jazz hands down! though it isn't really an "automatic" transmission. very responsive to manual commands (though the 7 speed manual mode is quite tiring).

    though as a whole, I'd get the Ford Focus 2.0L Sport. great chassis, adequate engine, lots of kit of a compact car, great styling, etc.

    First Choice: Honda Jazz/City 1.5 VTEC cvt - versatile space for the Jazz, which has the same cargo space as a CRV.

    Second Choice: Mazda S, V Sedan - a compact sized vehicle at almost the price as the subcompact sized Jazz.

    Runner up- Ford Focus - nice drive and handling. Exudes a high-end feeling but its a little too pricey.
