What you like most about the protege?
 

hmmm nothing, it's gotta be the worst car ever made in its market. :/

jk i love this damn car so much <3 seriously tho i wanna hear what is the thing you like most about the 3rd gen pro/p5/speed

Such a sexy wagon...I love watching mine drive around :)

so you like watching someone drive your car around huh geez what a goof :p jk

off topic i will give someone $200 if they can make a 500whp proteges and show me lots of videos on it and dynos and you raping a evo8,srt4,and ESPECIALLY the sti (fyi wouldnt hate the sti so much if it just didnt have that damn hood)

Hrrrrrrrrmph.

Like today. It was a rag-top day, but we needed to drop the Pro off at the shop [again] so I chose to drive the Miata and got to watch my husband zoom in and out of traffic in the wagon! Plus, I get to hear it when I have the top down...dang, that's a noisy car :rolleyes:

:) ic ic

i love how mine looks from the front with no grill it looks mean lol
that and the fact that its 5speed my last car was auto it was torture:(
peace

i'm going to hold you to this.....a local shop here has a 440whp p5 right now and they are gutting the car to make it lighter as we speak...

i'm excited about getting $1K!! man I could use it too. :bt:

Haha, careful what you wish for, it might come true...

Here's what I love about my Pro, in no particular order:

I like the way it looks, I think it's the best looking car of its class.
It has a lot of interior room compared to the overall size.
The fit and finish and materials inside are top-notch for a 16k-stickered car.
It handled and ran great stock, even better with the few mods I've done.
The engine, even though it's an old design and not state-of-the-art, is easy to work on, even for my inferior mechanical skills.

I love the way it connects you to what's going on with the road without punishing your body. It's a firm ride, with quick reflexes but still very comfortable. The perfect mix between a daily driver and track rediness at a price normal people can afford.

I love mine because there is not a lot of people out there moding it.
Also the price, stock for stock the pro was cheaper and better than all others of the same yr.
GAS MILEAGE! Last car 97 Z28 VERY fast but got 8mpg, I can dog the hell out of my 03 lx and still get 26 city and 30 hwy!

Same here hughes, 25-30 mpg. got 30.5 on interstate running 75-80

Why I like my Mazda Protege Wagon? Hmmmmm.
Looks of a Lexus, but only half the price.

heh heh, i like the fact that i can honestly hang with an STI around a track (until it hits the straights), and i like being able to pass some older (1980's) porsches in a grocery getter... an automatic grocery getter. HAHAHAHA.
