Must be a small bass... none of mine would fit in the BUR's trunk. Well, perhaps the Fender.

Very nice and a good price! He's already purchased his new car so he's gotta get this one sold.
I replaced my miata with one of these a couple months ago to be a family truckster. Absolutely love it. Spectacular car.

I'd also look at the Accord.
I love my TSX. You should go try one. They are not the most powerful car on the road, but the power is very adequate and good MPG. The 4-banger gives it nice balance over a V6. I have a 6-speed, which I suggest. After that, and MS6 is a very attractive possibility.
Made a purchase decision last night. The car should be here in 10 days or so. Some of you will undoubtedly roll your eyes at this, but the winner was a Fiji Blue Civic Si.
Test drove the Civic, GTI, MS6, RX-8, and even a Scion TC. I decided the STI was just too expensive and the Mini is overpriced, IMHO, for what you're getting.
The Scion was out immediately. Nice car, and a deal at $17,000, but it is much more "competent" than "special."
The RX-8 is awesome, and was my second choice. You can get some amazing deals on them right now, and the ride/handling trade-off is perfect. But reliability still spooks me. Sorry, Iain, I understand why you're buying one but I couldn't jump on board that train.
The MS6 is a great car but it's just too big for me. The engine is epic -- it'll be a screamer in the MS3 -- and the whole car is very, very nice. But there's a reason dealers are offering $7,000 off, and that's because the car is something of an unknown from a reliability and resale standpoint. Basically, though, it was just too big.
The GTI is swell, too. Again, the experience is dominated by the engine. Well, that and the impossibly cool plaid seats. I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing one of these over the Si, but what's it going to be like 60k or 100k down the road?
The last stop of the night was the Honda store and I knew within the first 100 yards of the test drive that I was probably going to be buying the Civic. I know, a Civic. I've considered the status implications of driving one and how I'm going to explain it to my fellow lawyers but I ultimately decided that I just don't give a sh!t. A car has to hit you the right way for you to fall in love, and this one pushes all the right buttons. The engine is a work of art, the chassis is fabulous, and the interior fits like a glove. The price is right, and the reliability is not a concern.
If Mazda were selling MS3s right now it might have been a different result. I don't know and, frankly, don't care. If you haven't driven the new Si I suggest you do so before dismissing it. It's that good.
