Welcome to the club. The Protege is a reliable car, no matter what year you get. Its all body style preference.
I personally perfer the sedan to the wagon, and I like the look of the 99-00 headlights rather than the 01+ style. But no matter what you get you are going to love the car.
Heres a pic of mine for the pure hell of it.

Also they made the mp3 with a full race suspension, The only flaw of the car was it only had 140 hp so they fixed it by making the mazdaspeed and giving it a turbo charger. You can buy a mp3 and buy a turbo kit for cheaper than buying a mazdaspeed

Welcome to the board.
I hope you enjoy searching and reading all the past posts that have taken place on this board.
You can check out the photo gallery section. There you will be able to see photo's of everyones Protege's and the years. You will also be able to see all of the different modifications that some of the people have put onto there cars.
You can also pm different members to ask them questions about there kits. Most times there are more issues to the kit than face value.. Make sure you do your research on kits and mods. It will go a long way and really help you out in the end.

Hey you guys! I am soo sorry that I haven't said anything for a really long time. I just moved to Las Vegas and getting on-line is near impossible right now. I have read your posts though and I think that I have decided on getting an MP3. But, it's still kind of a hard choice, because you are right dahoprotege... the MazdaSpeed is pretty awesome. *sigh* still a tough choice. But, I think that after doing some researching, the MP3 would be the best, because the only difference between a MazdaSpeed and a MP3 is the turbo. For the most part anyways. Let me know what you think. *hugz*

Once said 7 seconds he'd clock.
So his engine he goosed
With much too much boost,
And drove a rod through his block.
