I almost went down the Protege road.
The used '96 hardtop was my final choice. If I was updating I'd go SP20 Protege.

Hey,
We are all friends here. Welcome, enjoy and participate.

same car... but you can't fit your bike in the back of the protege!! hehe. seen one in my area with a wrx sti spoiler on the back... doesn't look half bad... the protege5 badges look dodge though!
i read in motor the protege behind was more well behaved than the hatch too.

cheers,
Bill

The four doors are better. More bracing in the rear and less glass, glass is heavier than steel. BTW remove the front wheel and my pushie fits right into my 'stina (Hardtop).

I like the current Protegé :)

the one that ran with the BA astina i felt was a little boring, but i really liked the Protegé Sport (with the bigger rear wing, and only in blue) that came out before the Protegé SP20 came out .

It's all the same under the skin, so i don't discriminate - especially with the current ones being even more similar than past ones

howdy hey, thanks for the exceptance....
and yes i do agree with you Rupewrecht about the sports edition, and as i am looking for a kit to equip my protege with i want to get the rear spoiler off one... went into mazda to price one, and they are like $1500 for just the rear spoiler. but then i also dun know how it will look in black, but then i also have other ideas im gunna explore before dat one.
catch ya guys later and beware of the DRK323
