So, my Eagle Talon is on her last leg and I'm looking at a newer car. I'm thinking about something from the around 2002-2005, around $12,000, and under 50,000 miles. I prefer smaller, sporty cars with manual transmissions but I can make exceptions. I'm leaning towards a Mazda 6 S, a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, or a Jeep Liberty Renegade. The last one I only list because I found a stellar deal with practically no miles.
And I'm sure some of you may suggest a Honda but of most my family (and my roommate) work for the UAW. They would prefer it if I bought something (even if it's used) that was built by the UAW. And, yes, Honda have many American plants now, but they are not UAW. Here is an updated list, note that even though it says 2007, those three cars were built in the same assembly plants here in the U.S. If it's not on the list, it's not an option.

So, Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, Mazda 6 S, or Jeep Liberty Renegade? Or any other suggestions from that list?
