MSP Owners
 

hello ppls. i'de like to hear from all the MSP owners about their cars. i'm getting one in like 3-4 months and i was wondering what i am jumping into. gimme all the ups and downs of the car. well maybe not all but gimme what you like and don't like about it. also how much did you pay(if you don't mind disclosing)? what color do you have? please TRY not to be bias(but if you have to be its cool). sry for all the questions but i really would like to know the car better b4 getting it.

I dont think theres any MSP owners here, maybe 1 or 2, but msotly were just normal Protege people here

I like the Spicy Orange... it's sweet :cool:

Yeah there are a few owners around here :)

also you can look around at

http://www.msprotege.com

but I prefer this site a lot more... :)

I have a speed! and I love it. great power, great looks all in one factory warrantied package!
there are a couple of things I have been hearing about them. some people say their radios are not working. I have had no problems. there is a "clunk" that comes from the back/trunk area, I have heard it was the swaybar or springs.
all in all I love it.
I paid under sticker for mine. don't pay any mark ups. my dealership had it marked up to 24k I told them they were crazy. I also told them that I could get it for cheaper at another dealership. ;)

I love my Mazdaspeed Pro. I'm getting used to the power now but damn it's quick. I haven't had any poblems with my Kenwood. My team describes the MSP as "Clean" or whatever that means.

cool thanks, so how many speed owners are there here?? and whats this i've been reading about many speeds that have been wrecked?? oh yeah mike, grease the sway bar, thats what my friend says.

Just got mine!
 

Hey, I just picked my MSP (orange) up on Saturday. I owned a modded zx3 before. So far I love the car! It rides a little rough on Michigan roads, but it handles like a dream. The radio is confusing as hell, but it's by far the best sounding factory installed system. I haven't friven the car hard yet since I just got it, but all I can say is that it has some power. !st and second gear pull pretty hard from about 2500 rpms up. My car is now sitting in my garage waiting for nicer weather. Driving my focus now sucks! Anyways, so far the only complaint I have is from my dealership. The guys at my dealer were complete tools.
BTW, I paid sticker price of 20,500 for mine, the dealer said they couldn't charge over sticker, so that was cool.

Re: Just got mine!
 

damn ur luckey that you got it for sticker. i'm still looking at markups here. i'm gonna wait till they all go away.

hey man i just got mine this Saturday. it is black and i paid $20,500 for it. i got it as a daily driver (other car is 93 RX-7). I was very impressed by the power that it has considering it is a 4 cylinder. it pulls very strong at 2500 RPM and up but the boost builds to redline, not like my RX-7 (full boost of 12 lbs at 3000 RPM). it handles VERY well...it rivals my RX-7. the sterio is very confusing at first but if you sit in the car for a few hours playing around with it you will get it. they did not muffel the stock blow off valve very well and when it goes off it sounds like compressor surge. all in all it is by far the best car you can buy for $20,000!!!!!

i love mine, i am sure you will too!
