Protege5 revels in contradictions
 
I found a pretty good article on the Protege5 today. You can find it here:
http://wheels.mainetoday.com/buysell...5protege.shtml

Take a look, it talks about and compares it to some other familiar cars.

"The Protege5's chief rivals are beefed-up versions of the Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra compacts, and a duo of steroidal small cars, the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Lancer."

It also talks about some complaints:

"One of the Protege5's biggest strengths could also become its greatest weakness. Its super-rigid, lightweight structure enhances handling and fuel economy. But it also turns the car into a bit of a kite in high winds."

Seems like a dumb complaint, probably because its hard to find any at all. (just my opinion)

Any how I think its a good read in a different perspective.

ThanX, George.

Indeed that is a rediculous statement. The words Steroidal and Lancer should NEVER be in the same sentence... But I do have to agree with the WRX statement. The funny thing is the guy who wrote the article isnt bagging on the Protegé5 at all. I think he needed to create some good competition for it, for a comparison, hense the Steroidal Lancer! HAHA!
