Stay away from the Pontiac Vibe they are discontinuing several models this year and will probably drop the whole line next year. I haven't heard if Toyota is doing the same with the Matrix.

I hope that's not true. They discontinued the GT, but I can't blame them - that was an incredibly goofy attempt to compete with the Mazda3.

I know I've seen about a billion threads on this type of thing before - but I'm in the market for a new car. I really like the Mazda M3 5-door hatchback - does anyone have one or has heard things about them I should know?

I'm looking for a replacement for an old Nissan Maxima, preferably with the same amount of passenger room and the potential for "future-child-adaptability" - i.e., more cargo space.

If anyone has any other recommendations, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've also looked at the M6 wagon, which is the best wagon on the market as far as I can tell (that does not cost a fortune anyhow). I've also checked out the Yaris and the Versa, but the M3 seems much better, and is based on the Focus so there is some previous-model experience within the design, which I like.

Any help/comments would be awesome.

Thanks.

Wierdly, I just got rid of an '89 Nissan Maxima myself and bought myself an '05 Focus.

I actually got the sedan model, but I'm really happy with the amount of space for the price and gas mileage, etc. My wife, my brother, and I, along with my 7 month old baby just took a road trip to Atlanta for Thanksgiving, and we all had reasonable room for sleeping, etc.
