Your Input Is Appreciated/In The Market To Buy

[filmnvideo]

I am in the market for a newer car. My research has led me with the following cars to choose from: Protege '00, Sentra '00, Carolla '00, Saturn S-series '00.

I discussed these options with my trusty mechanic. He favors the Toyota Carolla. "The Mazda," he said, "is a good car, but has some quirks about it that are hard to get rid of, not to mention that it's difficult to find parts. The Toyota is extremely reliable, and you could find parts even if you get stranded in the desert."

My question is this: On a level from 1-10, how would you rate your satisfaction with the Protege?

How would you rate reliability?

from all the ppl that i know that own one and after driving a few myself.....i rate it a 9 on my level of satisfaction with the protege. i think proteges have always been reliable cars from the first generation up to now. also, parts arent too hard to find....its all a matter of taking the time to find the parts you need and knowing where to look. If i were you, i would choose the '00 protege, but that's my opinion.
