In my previous post... I should have said "I'm NOT wild about the Wrangler"... sorry I left the word NOT out.

I'm with you. To me it falls into that category of a car that would be fun to own if you did not have to drive it every day.

Protege ES update by jaserb

I am seriously digging the little Protege I mentioned a few weeks ago: jaserb, "Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous" #8983, 17 Feb 2007 4:49 pm
 
It reminds me SO much of my '93 SE-R - I LOVED that car - but with the more usable back seat and extra set of doors I can fit the whole crew in it. My sister has a 2000 Sentra SE 2.0 with the same SR20 motor, but it doesn't have the same eager nature of either the old SE-R or the Protege. I actually paid for a 2 year registration at the DMV instead of 1 yr - talk about an un-CCBA like thing to do!
 
Last week while traveling I had a Mazda6 rental and I have to say I like my Protege better - much more nimble and tossable. The interior materials seem nicer too. Maybe it's a US Mazda / Japanese Mazda thing.
 
The truck wasn't getting much interest from the classifieds so I just took it to CarMax. Got $750 less than I paid for it 7 mos ago, even after putting on 6k miles and having some minor bodywork done, so I'm pretty happy.

I wouldn't rule out the RAV 4 V6. It would certainly solve the power problem. And in my area, 2 of the best dealers are Toyota dealers, & sell RAV 4's at close to invoice--I don't think (?) that's hard to accomplish. Of course you might just really want or need a larger, more expensive vehicle--used MDX maybe?

Ya know what I like about this post? How many people in Alaska have a convertible?

Yup, that would be the truck, lol. I just don't drive much, have driven maybe 1600 miles in the past couple months. Driving just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I still like looking at cars though, lol.

The Sebring I have is a coupe, made by Mitsubishi, unlike the convertable made by Chrysler. The coupe is the better of the 2 cars. Its got a big sunroof though, lol, then again, so does my truck.

bonding with my depreciated 5-series by woodyww

That sounds like me, altho I do really like driving my bmw, when I drive it. In fact, I find when I'm driving my 6 y.o. 5-series, I'm mainly digging the car, as opposed to when I'm sitting in front of my computer, & start fantasizing about all the other vehicles I could get.
 
I do notice current-gen dodge rams when I see them. Cool looking trucks IMO, & you don't see them as much as fords or chevys which are more generic-looking to me.
