Currently I own a Jeep Cherokee and in no way have i been disappointed with the vehicle. I offroad on a regular basis and am happy with the way its performed and its reliability has been great. Times are changing though and need to downsize to a smaller better gas mileage vehicle, since the cherokee gets around 12mpg average.
I've owned in the past a 94 Celica, 98 Prelude, and a 98 Integra GSR. I went to the jeep after the integra. Reason being is that the gsr blew its head gasket at 50k miles, and i had to rebuild the head... which made me anti-jap car for a while, but now i've felt the need to return..
Basically i've narrowed it down to a couple vehicles, one being the Protege 5. To all you guys, what are some things i should look for and things i should avoid in this car? I'm looking for a 5-spd... anything else doesn't matter a whole lot. Just basically wondering what if any problem areas this car has. Thanks for any info.
