i work at a mazda dealer and i drive them all the time. they are nice looking/handling cars for the price(espically the 2003.5 with new wheel options and new wing) but i am totally unimpressed with the power thay have. they need some searous turbo "breathing mods". IMO, if i were looking at cars in that cateagory, i would get the vw gti turbo. its in the same price range, and is faster, more comftorable, and better built

no way man

 

I like mine but i have to sell it because i cant afford insurance on a financed car and all...... check the cars for sale on this site and you will see my listing. It looks awesome, handles great and is damn quick. Email me for any questions. Thanks

 

did you know there's a $1500 cash back on the Mazdaspeed Proteges right now?

so it's actually gonna cost you only $19500 instead of $21000

 

thats what I did...

I traded my Ser in on it, because the ser was a piece of shit.. in terms of reliability.. but was great otherwise.

 

I own 2 SPec-V ones paid for and I havent had a mechanical problem with it yet I got the red one 2 months after it came out and I got the black one a lil while ago.....As for trading the Spec for performance or reliability I was just thinking of something new.......I'm Nissan for life....there will never be a day I dont go back to my main stay.......Its kinda like gettin some strange...lol.......Not that I do if your readin this "Shell"......
