Used hatchbacks for sale near Mount Sinai, NY under $8,000

I recently purchased a 2016 Cadillac CTS Sedan from Victory Cars Central in Levittown, and I have to say — this team deserves all the recognition possible. From the moment I walked in, Steve, Jordan, Santiago and the rest of the staff treated me like family. They went above and beyond to make what seemed impossible, possible. My credit situation wasn’t perfect, yet they did everything in their power — every creative, professional, and honest move — to make sure I could drive away in the car I wanted, with zero down payment. The vehicle itself runs incredibly well, and while it has a few minor cosmetic blemishes (as expected for a used car), the performance and reliability are outstanding. What mattered most was how this team handled the entire process — with transparency, effort, and genuine care. Steve and Jordan were absolute superheroes. They didn’t just sell a car; they restored my confidence in how good people and great service can change your day. It’s rare to find a dealership that truly puts the customer first, and Victory Cars Central absolutely did that. If you’re looking for a trustworthy dealership that will work with you, not against you, this is the place. Highly recommended — five stars all the way! — Jefferson C.

In Aug 2016, purchased the 2013 Fucus Hatch SE used in 2016, with 13,000 miles on it. With 35-37mpg on average with mixed driving. Early on OK without issues. Around 40K miles the transmission electronic control modual, ECM, needed an adjustment. The transmission is a learning transmission. It will learn how you drive and adjust shift points as your driving habits are learned by the transmission. My wife's driving habits are put it in drive and GO! My habits are different. Every now and then I will drive her car and shift the transmission as a manual drive, since the transmission is a manual drive transmission which has been automated. The engine and transmission only makes a subtle gurgle noise when as the car shifts from 2nd to 1st as the car comes to a stop. The car is sporty to drive, sensitive steering, good braking. It reminds be of a less expensive VW Golf. Currently we have 140K miles and the only wear on the car that shows is a failure of the heat shield and since I am a mechanically inclined guy who putters around fixing what is broken, there is wear on the clutches in the transmission, all due by my wife's driving habits of being a speedy driver. Since we already have it and its paid off, I will keep it. I will only purchase a Golf or Jetta when the transmission or electronic control module hiccups. I do realize the ECM has a recall if you're below 1450K miles.

Bought a used car over 2 years ago, and the car has not broken down once, and the car is running great with some preventative maintenance.

Nice car handles great but I am a big guy so a little cramped. But i bought this for my son he fits and really enjoys driving it . Even though the over all rating for me would be4 stars my son gives it five stars so we are both very happy with the Mazda 3
