I Need Help Picking a Car Badly! Please Help.
Alright, first time poster. Go easy. I currently drive a 2002 Honda Civic LX (Green). I am 17 and want to trade it for a 2004 Mazda 3 s (Gray). But, I'm not sure if my parents would be down. So, here are some questions:

On which car are the insurance rates higher? (I live in Indiana if that helps)

Which is more reliable? (My guess is the civic)

Which car do you prefer?

Any help/advice would be nice. Thanks.
