Which Car Should We Get?

My Fiancee wants a new car. I can't decide which of these two to seek out for her. She will be getting an ATX ("I don't dive no stick." "You drive my stick." "Well that's the only one.")

Mazda Protege:
2003 (Any)
2002 (Any)
2001 (2.0L only)
2000 (ES with 1.8L only)

Mitubishi Lancer:
2003 (Any)
2002 (Any)

I won't want to pay any more than $9k for the car. ( No Evo8s :( )
I like the two because they have SOME power 120+ hp. When stuff goes wrong when the warranty is up (If there stilll is one) I'll be fixing it. I want this to last @ least 7 years. I'm sure she'll want a new car after that or before. What's gonna be my best value and WHY?

Yes, you might see this in another forum.

you're in a lancer forum so your results my be a little biased.

lancers ROCK!!! :ylsuper:

i have had my lancer for 2.5 years and no problems at all. nothing but regularly scheduled checkups(oil change, brake pads, ect.). i love mine and after 2.5 years i still want to drive it everyday.

Go with the lancer it sux you can't get a evo but atleast go with the oz rally edition its your best bet
