New Car Time!

so let's see.. let's do the math.. say you spend $320 a month on gas (fill up a week). you pay $250 a month for a lease payment with tax. You pay gas for that car (real miser. $60 a month). You pay say $50 a month for insurance. Does that come out to more than just driving the RR assuming the RR does go to shop again???

heres my test drives

-Mazda 3 2.3i Touring Edition Sedan msrp-23,050 (SO FUN TO DRIVE!)
-Jetta 2.5i Pkg 2-24,050 (Cute, Kinda Slow, but major reliability problems I have heard and Just have no time for a 2nd ONE

)
-Ford Fusion SEL V6-Really Fast, Really Nice Interior, Totally Luxury for under 25 and cheap lease payment!

I'm leaning towards the Mazda-6 base Ford Fusion, especially with the 1k gas card AND special lease, any input?

My must havs!
-Side Curtian/chest thorax side airbags
-CD Player
-Good headlamps
-5 star crash test rating
-Good Visabiliy
-Some Luxury, not tons
-Good Fuel Economy!
