Wtf does he go into political and social problems in a car review? All that to prove his point about the importance of gas mileage. Haha funny review. I'm laughing, at the reviewer.

Radical styling? And that's bad? The P5 is the most conventional of all crossovers IMO.

That article shows that he did not even drive the Protege 5. He read the dealer pamplet and wrote the 2 paragraphs at the end. If he drove the car he would of wrote a better article. Blah, Blah, blah oh 25 city 31 Highway. I work in the media but it just shows who in the media is sucking some ****.

He also said it feels like a Chevy S-10 Extreme, which also shows he didnt drive it. The feel of both is totally different, this guy seems to be fascinated with low riders and was trying to compare the P5 to one. How is the P5 going to appeal to the younger crowd the most? Thats what the Mp3 is for. The Mp5 is going to appeal to a family man or someone who likes the extra room and doesnt want a sluggish minivan.

When he says it feels like an Xtreme, he was referring to how low it sits, not it's handling.

Strange article, yes. But the review isn't horrid, he actually puts the P5 in a positive light. He knew enough to relate stiff suspension with better handling, unlike many reviewers that can't get past "harsh ride".

This guy is so out to lunch it's not even funny.

The first 5 paragraphs of his review are not even about the car itself, with the exception of the brief comparison between the P5 and Chevy Extreme in the first paragraph.

Who the hell cares what his opinions are on the quality of drivers in america and what part of the city you are likely to get gang banged? Seriously though, he was obviously asked to write a review and didn't have a clue about the car so he went way off topic in order to have more than a one paragraph article on the car itself.

I don't care that he doesn't like it because everyone has the right to their opinion.

I'm sorry, did he even write about the P5 here? I thought it was about the beurecratical capitalist neo-***** in europe... Can we even call that a review? What a peice of spoiled meat.

that's a CAR review????

Sounds more like some twisted social commentary than a car review...

but no worry, the EDUCATED readers will discredit that review after reading the first 2 paragraphs

I agree on that, but what I meant was when you sit in a P5 and sit in a POS Xtreme, there is a Huge difference, how is the ride height the same? There is a big difference when your sitting in a car rather than a truck. I don't think he has been in either of these 2 vehicles. I have been in both, and can say there is nothing alike.
