I was talking about the mazdaspeed protege. I know regular proteges are a lot cheaper. I can get a brand new one for 13 grand. You get a lot more bang for your buck than the civic folk. in my opinion. But shouldn't the civic be cheaper? I mean considering so many people are buying them...

 

supply and demand bo

 

Yeah they are cheaper than a MSP. Sorry I thought you were refering to the rest of the Protege line up. A lot of people get them because they have so many companies that make aftermarket parts and are easy to work on according to a guy I know. He had a turbo put in his Toyo truck and blew the thing up racing an Acura GSR. There goes a few thousand down the drain! He now has an older Civic hatch (lighter than the sedan) base model which he plans on ordering a Type-R Acura engine from overseas. Talk about mucho dinero!! That is his hobby and he knows his **** when it comes to souping it up. Expensive hobby though! I like many of us hear always pick the expensive hobbies that are of interest!

 

sorry to hear about your loss... but look on the bright side...a car out there is waiting for a good owner like you to fix him/her up.. =)

 

man, i can't even imagine what is like to loose a car you love
but, now you can get something better such as
a mazda 6 or a RX8
