Don't take the V6 off your list!

I'll second that. In my opinion the V6 is actually more reiable than the 4 cyl. I own a 2001 SE V6 and it's pushing 164k miles, still running very strong. The V6 doesn't suffer from many of the problems the 4 cylinders have such as oil sludging, head bolt problems or pcv issues. My indy says he has never seen any head gasket issues with the V6 either. The only thing you absolutely need to keep up with on the V6 is the timing belt and tensioner every 60k miles. I would definitely not take the V6 off your list; I love the power it has and it's been pretty reliable.
