Hyundai Coupe since it's the only one we got over here and I've always liked the styling.
Would you rather?

Hmmm... I'll have the Sentra Spec V. Those B15s are something else. I'll get some mods and upgrades. Push it around 450hp. That's good for me.

2005 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. I wouldn't mind if it was yellow.

Why do you always talk about upgrading these cars? It really isn't relevant at all when it's not mentioned by the person posting the comparison if the car is already modded or not. Also I'd take the T.M and the Sentra.

Aztek VS Cherokee
To be honest, I think the Cherokee looks worse than the Aztek.
*Lets that bold statement set in*
The Aztek's pretty much a GM minivan wrapped in a more rugged sheetmetal. From what I remember from the time I roadtripped in a ten year old Venture, I can only assume that the Aztek is mostly similar, which means that it suffers a bouncy, unrefined ride that's too jittery to be comfortable. The power felt pretty average as well, though in defense of the Venture, it was loaded up with six people and their cargo when strong acceleration was needed. I wouldn't think it's much better unloaded though. The Cherokee's a modern vehicle, and is derived from much more appealing Alfa Romeo underpinnings. That'll guarantee road manners superior to what the Aztek can offer, as well as better gas mileage, better handling, and vastly improved safety. Cargo capacity probably isn't as good as the immensely practical Aztek, but I'm far from the young active lifestyle male that that car was targeted towards. So I'll take the Cherokee.
Ssangyong Actyon VS Minecraft Pig What?
There's something about that Ssangyong's styling that reminds me of a BMW X6, despite a slightly different roofline and the absence of a Hofmeister kink. Maybe this is what the upcoming X4 will look like. The rest of it is purely ugly though. I don't know the specs on the Minecraft Pig, but I doubt the cargo capacity is as good as the Actyon. Reliability's about the same for both I'd say. But the Actyon's a car with wheels and an engine, and the Minecract Pig's...a pig, so yeah.
Evo X VS Evo VI
I'm not an Evo guy, or a Mitsubishi guy. Not an STI guy or a Subaru guy either. But the current Evo, while it looked alright when it came out, is starting to look stale now. I guess I'll take the older one. It looks like more fun than the X.
Tiburon VS Sentra
To me, the Tiburon's always been that sporty car you buy after you find out you can't afford the monthly payment on a new Celica. It's that cheaper, less well known car that's kinda sporty, but is kinda crappy, and kinda...meh. The profile is alright, but the front and back ends are both pretty bland. That overstyled fuel cap particularly annoys me. The Sentra of that generation is a pretty decent looking car, a bit bubbly but not overly so like the Maxima of the era. It's got a nicer interior, and I bet it's better to drive, too. So I'll take the Nissan.

Yes, that's an Si. Use your imagination.

What? I like doing it when I chose the one (or more) of the cars. I did it since I been here in this thread with some of the choices.
And I'll take the Scion TC and the Civic EX and hook them up.

Scion and Civic. I just dislike most Korean cars.
GAZ Volga Siber (2008-2010), $ 12-16k
2.4 L, 143 hp, 210 Nm, 4-speed automatic
Basically, this is just a restyled 2nd generation Chrysler Sebring (JR41 platform) with stiffer suspension and higher ground clearence.
or
Chevrolet Epica (a.k.a. Holden Epica, Daewoo Tosca) (2006-2011), $ 14-21k
2.5 L, 156 hp, 6-speed automatic
or
Mazda 6 (2007-2013), $ 16-28k
2.0 L, 147 hp, 5-speed automatic
I would go with the Siber/Sebring, because it offers a mid-size American platform at lower price.

Tiburon vs Sentra: I'll have the Tiburon since we get it in the UK.
Small USA Coupes: Neither. They don't have much appeal to me.
Mid-size sedans: Mazda without a doubt.

Scion VS Kia
Both are fairly decent cars to look at outside, and both have decent specs. Both are probably decent to drive, but not particularly sporty or sharp like a Civic Si or a GTI. The Kia's a little better looking than the Scion; it has a better flow to it, whereas the Scion's more boxy and choppy. But, the Scion does have an edge interior-wise, and interiors are important to me. The Kia's interior is alright, but it's not as nice as the Scion's. I'll go with the Kia though, as it has a performance advantage as well as an edge in styling compared to the Scion, and that outweighs the tC's slightly nicer interior.
Civic VS Elantra
The new Elantra's a pretty nice looking car, inside and out. But I've always seemed to just like Civics better than competing cars, and I'm not sure why. Sure the edge in engineering prowess compared to other cars in its class isn't as significant as it was in Honda's glory days of the 90s, but they're still pretty nice cars. I also prefer the Civic's space age, multi-layered interior that just looks larger and more airey than the Elantra's swoopy, sort of narrow theme inside. A rental Civic, though an eighth generation model, felt like a very large car inside, much larger than its diminutive exterior dimensions would lead you to think. The Civic will also be better to drive than the Elantra, which like most Hyundai/Kias, apparently suffers from so-so steering and handling in general. So I'll take the Civic.
Siber VS Epica VS 6
Interesting to see a comparison with Russian cars. When my mom's old Highlander got rearended for the first time, she was given a silver Dodge Stratus for a week, which is more or less the same as the Volga, minus the suspension changes in the Russian version. This was six or seven years ago, but from what I can vaguely remember it wasn't a very good car at all. Didn't feel very well built, and had a pretty meh interior (better than the Chryslers designed in the Daimler era though). The Epica probably isn't as epic as the name would suggest, but it doesn't look like a bad car. Doesn't look like a very good one though. Its primary issue is that the Mazda 6 is the other choice, and I'll take that car. It's nicer looking, better built, will be more reliable and is better to drive.

Same here.
As for your comparison, I'll have the Mazda. I'm sure (*bad joke warning*) the Chevrolet is one Epic car, but I'm guessing the Mazda is probably better made. The Siber is out of the question

Hyundai Tiburon vs. Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V - Definitely the Sentra. You never see these anymore!
Scion tC vs. Kia Forte Koup SX - I'll take the tC. I see a lot of them around here, they look really nice. And the Forte is just boring, there's no design to it at all. It's just one of those cars that blend in.
Honda Civic EX vs. Hyundai Elantra SE - This is the only time I'll take a Honda. The new Civic is just

GAZ Volga Siber vs. Chevrolet Epica vs. Mazda Mazda6 - Well ,the GAZ is out becuase it's just too outdated. The Epica is out, because outdated. The Mazda6 wins.

Mazda 6 by several thousand miles.
I had the misfortune to drive both an Epica and a Sebring and they were both absolute turds.
Honda Accord Euro vs. Mazda 6 would be a much more interesting proposition. Build quality and features vs. performance and handling.
