Planning to test drive this Mercedes A 180 next week as well as a Kia Ceed(?) and Kia Rio.
He just got the Ceed in, it wasn't on the site yet. Some kind of GT model. The Rio a white/black duotone GT edition of some sorts.

Found 2 good dealers. one gave me a good offer for the Lancer said it was in great condition so that bodes well for the check up. They didn't have much for sale that I liked. He told me he expected some new stock next week so I'll check their website over the next few days. The other guy that offered the Mercedes was finally a car sales guy still excited about cars.
Also looking at some Toyotas, Lexus and Mazda. While the more sporty Yaris editions have grown on me, I still find them too expensive.
Both dealers told me the same thing, Audi and BMW are nice cars but lots of maintenance, especially on the BMW. If you're not really a car guy it gets expensive.
The Toyota Corolla not as exciting to drive as it looks, more tuned for safety and comfort less for agility. This Mercedes was very fun to drive the guy said. So we'll see.
