about to buy a new car, advice wanted

[Zech Marquis]

in the few 2-3 months, I plan on buying my very first car :bounce: my plan is to have between 1700 to 2000 for the downpayment, with about 300 or so a month for the car note. The 3 cars I'm considering are the 2007 Honda Civic LX, 2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S, and the 2007 Ford Fusion. If I could find a pre owned 2007 Camry or Altima, I'll save up a bit more and consider those too. my main needa are ease of driving for a new driver, good on gas, good legroom for the driver's seat. Nissan and Ford both have good first time buyer programs, and the Honda dealer is a very good one. So any advice form my fellow DUers would be good!
