"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"

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.)

pr5owner

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
