I currently own a Mazda3 year 2005. It's a beautiful car, the thing I am upset about is that it doesn't have ANYTHING: no electric windows, no alarm, no sunroof, etc etc. I know, please don't give me $h!t about it because I feel bad that I bought such a good car with nothing in it... well, I am thinking about trading it in. I paid 17 for it, or so, plus all the extras. I have had it for a year and a half. I want to get another car that has EVERYTHING even heated seats, and it be beautiful and sporty. I looked at a dealer, and saw a Hyundai Elantra SE with everything for 16, 700. If I traded it, would it be worth it? My boyfriend tells me that "it's not a mazda" lalala. I guess mazda is better? Would that be worth it to me if I bought an 08 elantra for that much with EVERYTHING and traded my 05 that has nothing? I don't know. I'm a girl... and I'm impatient! I don't want to make another mistake, so I thought you guys could give me some opinions. :) Thanks.
I have only paid about 4500 so far. So I know equity would come in the picture..

Mazda is no better than Hyundai in my opinion, just silly brand loyalty on your boyfriend's part I think. I personally would go for it, I love the extra amenities, they make your life that much more enjoyable, I think.

YA! I want a new car! And this one is BRAND NEW! Now one has owned it... I'm so bad... lol I need to control myself. I just don't want to regret the trade.

Well if there's something wrong with the car do you have a warranty? Which will cost you more in the long run?

Make a list of pros and cons.

Nope there is nothing wrong with the car at all. I love my car. I forgot to metntion too that I can install all the equipment I want for 1900... I just don't know what would be the best choice. I love my mazda. Yes it has warranty left as well. I bought it with 9000 miles and one previous owner. I think my car is more cute too.. but yea
