"While conducting this comparison test, one of our editors was driving the Protegé on a curvy road. Behind him was a Subaru WRX. Despite the WRX's power advantage, the Mazda stayed well ahead. When the two cars finally came alongside at a stoplight, the driver of the WRX said, "Wow, that thing's fast. What's a 'Protegé S'?"

We'll forgive the mistaken read of the badge, for this car could easily be considered an "S" version"

-edmunds compact wagon comparison test

Protege "S" as Porsche Boxster S?

i would place the protege5 first and the matrix 2nd....

 

latest car and driver named pro5 number 1 over matrix, vibe, focus, pt cruiser, and some other 'box' type cars.

i guess we have the ultimate box.

 

Makes you pretty proud don't it? I know I am. Two other friends of mine bought them too!

 

So much for the Protege being a "snail"... Wow, look at that S-car go!

(oh come on. I can't resist a pun like that.)

 

maybe they thought our car was the Corrolla S

or maybe they though that the p5 was supercharged,

thats probably why they came to the conclusion they did

 

thanks alot.

 

Ack... boo! hiss!
