Question Which car to buy.. in September..?

I will be getting a new car in September, but I like to have all my research done before the purchase.. right now I have narrowed the cars down to 3 possible choices, I know they are not really in the same ballpark, but I am open to any ideas. However the car must meet some requirements before it can even be considered.

1) I have to be able to fit two full grown American Bulldogs in it (at the same time)

2) 28+ MPG Highway

3) Available in MT

4) No Coupes

Please make any suggestions for cars too, anyways on to the list..

- Acura TL-Type S
- Mazda 3 5 Door
- Fit Sport

PS : Again, please make suggestions for any other cars.. so far the Mazda 3 seems the most logical..

New TL-S? How can you NOT want the TL-S. Only downside is it needs premium fuel. Everything else is well... PREMIUM compared to the Fit and the Mazda3.

I agree with everybody about the TL, the only issue so far is.. covering the seats for the dogs in the back.. if the even fit! Actually, covering the seats is easy its covering the door panels I am worried about, any ideas?

You could try tucking someone between the door panels and doors? Youll have to remove them slightly.

What about a VW GTI or Jetta 2.0T? They are comfortable, relatively quick and not the lamest thing on the road ( that distinction goes to Toyota Echo).

Get an 8th Gen Si. I have one, and i love it, its a great addition for some power and great handling, plus a bunch of space, and btw i avg 26-28 mpg on mine, so you'll be fine.

VW , if anything goes wrong is crazy to get repaired..
If your battery dies, it will only jump ONCE, after that you will need to take it to get re-programmed and replace the battery probably.
