The car comes with hub caps that have a five lug pattern on then, but the wheles are actually only 4 lug. Finding this out was fun because I had to replace a tire (pre rims) I put in the tire iron and pull off a plastic cap thats all cromes out under it is another plastic cap, eventually I ralize to just pull off the hub cap.


The doors in the back have a what appers to be speakers in them judging by the holes in the door in the shape of a speaker. So im sitting in the back yesterday and I realize that there is no sound comming from these holes I pull up the pannel on the door and there is just a big foam square in a hole.

What else does this car appear to have that it does not?

Well bro, I ran into this when I bought my car as well... The dealer and I were walking the lot, and he was telling me that he had Protege's on the lot, and I was interested in looking at them... so we go over to where they are. Out of nowhere, I see this one that had this girl sort of standing by it, beautiful female... I thought I was in love. So I'm looking at the car, and I ask the dealer guy, "does it come with all that I see here?" He tells me "yes." So, we go in and get all the paperwork ready, and I'm getting all excited. Go through all the b.s., and I sign all the papers... Man, I was so dissapointed when I found out, the girl came with the car that sitting NEXT to the car I bought. I was so pissed off, I went and punched the dealer for lying to me, and left the car sitting on the lot.

Yeah but its a 1.6 lables 1.6 if the motor had a v6 lable on it that would be diffrent.

Too bad on the girl man, If hot chicks came with mazdas i would buy a few more.

well, i feel protetype and zerocover on this one. i, too, was duped by the cheapoghettofabulous dealer! i thought my car was supposed to come with leather, a 6disc cd changer, moonroof, and antilock brakes. how ghetto is mazda? this is how ghetto they are... i tried loading 6 discs into my changer only to find that it's not a 6disc changer. i tried opening my moonroof, but all i saw was my dome light. i got naked and slid into my car, and when i got out, i got the biggest case of electric shock in my life! guess no leather for me. and the thing that totally vilified mazda as ghetto was when i went and slammed on my brakes for fun. the brakes locked my wheels and caused me to run into the curb. guess mazda skimped on the abs for my car as well. cheap ghetto asses! I WANT A REFUND!!!

That's because it shares the same mass produced door panel with the Protege5. Those have speakers in there and do not have the speakers you have mounted to your rear deck.

Well, you could always buy a Cavalier. It's the best automobile on the face of the earth.

tonkabui

negatize is right! the cavalier does have 5 lug hubcaps, but their steelies are also 5 lug. but here's the best part... in my girlfriend's cavalier, it doesn't have back speakers.... or at least it doesn't LOOK like there are back speakers. the rear deck is completely flat with no signs of speakers anywhere. but when i sat in the car yesterday, i swear i heard music coming from the rear deck! what is this? chevy actually put something underneath an unmarked speaker hole. gosh, the cavalier is the best car ever! hee hee... ok, i'm done being a smartass now.

Yeah I think that ill add some more speakers into there.

I checked around and I read that I can fit some 5 1/4 speakers into there with an adapter.
What kind of speakers are in the pro5?

JJB

6.5" and you'll need the adapter plate for Mazda (and Ford?) drill pattern (or you can make your own). Someone else recently posted an asapter place from Scosche (sp?, source?)... if you do a search I'm sure you can locate the post.
