Hello everyone
I'm looking to purchase a cheap hatchback for the next 1/2 years. The hatchback function suits what i'm looking for this year (lots of camping trips, roadtrips, moving, bike rack etc).
I'm not looking to spend anything big, so I've narrowed it down to a used Protege5, or potentially a toyota matrix. I plan to drive this car all summer this year, than it will become a winter car as I hope to purchase a sports sedan/coupe for the summers starting 2013.
The protege's tend to be a lot cheaper, which is the main reason i'm leaning towards them!
Does anyone have any other suggestions or feedback on the protege? I'd be looking at a 2002-2004 model.
Recap:
Cheap (less than $4000)
Space
Good on gas
relatively reliable
thank you for reading and any help you can provide!
