Another thing - I heard that the Dodge Neon (now called the SX) is the worst in its class for safety. Does anyone know of a website to check this out?

Again everyone thanks for your input, I really appreciate and need your advice.

:D :D :D :roll: Sorry, just copying the wife when I make a claim like that. I had a site marked down for a site for car consumers, I'll check for it and let you know if I find it. 8)

Just go to the library and in the reference section look for the Lemon Aide books by Edmunds. Or his web site http://www.edmunds.com

I the online references are not as complete as the books. Edmunds pulls no punches.

I have a Sentra and I tell you, what a great reliable car, (knock on wood) I have 165,000km and so far the only thing that has gone on it was the alternator.

I had a hyundai just a few years ago, at 100,000km the distributor went, then the tranny then the block cracked, NOTHING was covered under warrantee, even the tranny that was serviced by them a mere 2 weeks before it went, they ( the dealership) blamed the tranny on me saying I added tranny fluid to it and wrecked it.

Over the long run, Nissan and toyota get my vote, my brother has a toy with 300,000km, just gets regular service done to it, my brother inlaw has two sentras, one has close to 400,000km and the other is about 2 years old, with less than 60,000km he doesn't spend money on repairs on either.

Mind you, a pick up truck can carry bigger tanks than a sedan... just a thought.

I think I will be going with the Sentra. I have researched until I am blue in the face and the Sentra meets most of my needs.

Thanks for everyones input.

Cheers,
Patrick
