I've never bought a new car, but my parents have purchased two of them. I'd say they're better in the long run than getting used because you are the first owner and get to break them in. Plus they generally go a long time without any major repair or maintenance, other than the standard check up and just being a safe overall driver.
I guess what you should do is pick out a car you want, find info on it and test drive, test drive, test drive. At the dealship, you really have the power over there. They have to make a comission and they'll try to do anything have you leave with a car from your lot. Definitely do not settle for the first one you find. And I do believe that some dealships have some sort of 24 hour test drive to let it sink in more. But good luck with that.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
