This is a miscompared comparison.

I know. How silly of me to make a comparison in a segment in which Nissan doesn't compete!

I meant the RSX should be a type S, the Celica should be a GTS, and the Stang V6 shouldnt be there.

Same. Although the cobalt comes in pretty close, yet I don't really know anything about it. I would love to have a tC as a first car, too. list:

1. tC
2. Cobalt
3. RSX
4. Mustang
5. Celica
6. Tiburon
7. Civic
8. Ion

The RSX base, Celica GT, and Mustang V6 are all sporty coupes for $20,000. The RSX-S and Celica GT-S aren't.

I chose the Scion because it's the first cheap coupe (other than the Celica when I was younger) that I absolutely love. And, unlike the Celica, I actually fit in a tC. It has a nice interior, a sporty theme throughout the exterior and interior, the panoramic roof is cool, the price is reasonable, and using the Camry engine and Toyota parts, it should prove to be reliable (like ifcar said).
My overall ranking is as follows:
1. tC
2. Cobalt (It's SO much better than the Cavalier is every single way)
3. Celica (it's small, but it's beautiful)
4. Ion Redline (Not my favorite for looks, but a sporty package for the money)
5. Tiburon (looks better than it has in the past, has a decent engine, and quality seems better. Reliability unknown, but a warranty that should take care of concerns)
6. RSX (funny looking, and small, but still pretty cool overall)
7. Civic (I think it's ugly, and not especially appealing, but it's a good car, and reliable.)
8. Mustang (Once again, much better than it's predecessor, but I still don't like how it looks, and I'm not a big fan of the interior.)
