Estimated Cost of Mazdaspeed Pro
#31
i second the rx-8 option. if price is an issue, go with the ride that should rock. but as far as this whole usd/cad, it would not be easier to state everything in cad as there are a lot of non-canadians here as well.
but i don't see how a car with more options would be less than it's predecessors...

price on Maspeedpro
If mazda has any brains they won't release it in the US for more than $19,995. If they try some $21k-23k crap they can watch all the enthusiasts drive right past the Mazda dealership on their way to the Subaru, Toyota, Acura, or even Hyundai dealerships who all have cars with more horsepower and more car for the same or even less money. I love my '99 ES and part of the reason is that I only paid $10,500 for it last year w/only 22,000 miles on it.

okay since cars are never a straight up conversion from USD to CAD this is my estimate on the price.......
Mazda said it will be $US 20-22k.......
MP3 was $US 18k I believe......
In Canada MP3 sold for $CA 24k.....
therefore in Canada Mazdaspeed Protege will likely be $CA 29,000. They always price the cars just under a round figure (ex. 99$, NOT 100$ lol) which makes me think that it will be mid 29,000$ in Canadian funds for one.
As for value...... well I'd still have it over all those other cars mentioned above that are priced in the range because of looks (interior/exterior) as well as the way that the power sounds to be distributed (not just going for the high numbers to boast).....

If Mazda decides to offer a moonroof and/or leather with the MS Pro, then I can see a lot of people going with it over the WRX. Plus a lot of people don't like the WRX styling (I for one DO like it) and the looks of the Pro are second to none, IMHO.

I have got a question....which of the aforementioned cars has a limited slip on it. I am lazy and did just a quick search and the only thing I could find was the the rear drive on the Subie had an LSD. So which if any do?
#39
I think that the Neon SR/T won't have it and I know that the Sentra Spec V has one. Actually the one on Sentra got terrible reviews when I was watching a TV show (forgot which one) as it said that it would deliver too much power to one side once the other side lost traction causing the car to be very unstable in wet weather. They didn't mind it in the first two gears but they said that it even happened in the third gear when you're going pretty fast

Yah, I did some more checking and found RSX, Celica, Tibie all don't have a standard LSD. This of course was a five minute search on some forums so who knows if it is correct. So that leaves the Spec V and Mspeed....the Mazda is better looking so it wins. Heh.
