Since my 1988 plymouth sundance has died im look for a new car. Top of my list is a mazda Protege 4dr DX/LX/ES its a 2003 im trying not togo over 12,000is this a good car? I whent on the net and looked up the car did see so many things wrong with it. They did say it lac's passing power. can anyone confirm this?

cant be of too much trouble but i've never heard terrible things about proteges. Why dont you get a lexus es300? more reliable (i'm guessing) and more blingage for the buck unless you want a manual.

I say get a mid nineties Honda Accord. They are a better value than a Mazda.

If 12000 is your budget there are a lot of cars that you could get. It all depends on what you want.

Are you looking for something with some performance or something that gets good gas mileage?

JGT8229 · 11 May 2007, 09:00 am

well what are your plans for the car? its mostly personaly opion. no one can tell u what u want, its all in what u like and will be happy with. theres a pretty good selection for cars u can get for 12 gs

Buy a maxima like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...13982205QQrdZ1

U get the looks, the power (own any ricer u want, even some V8's), quality, reliability, space, etc. If u wanna save a little more gas and still pwn, get the older 3.0L 2000-2001 :thumb: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...09369744QQrdZ1
