I would agree that the SE 2.0 is the model to get for your budget... More equipment, very reliable & the SR20DE is a really fun little motor. Not super fast, but just a willing nature & a nice sound too. Also I would agreed regarding the Protege, which is what I have right now. P5 or ES 2.0 (5-bolt, 4-disk & very well equipped) are better-handling then the Sentra but the engine does run out of steam above 4.5k rpm. Pretty reliable too. But in both cases, rust is the major issue to look for hence find a clean one & youre set for a trouble-free ownership experience with minimal manitenance & easy-cheap access to parts.
