which one is better

[SIZE=4][FONT=times new roman][COLOR=darkblue] which one is better the matirx :confused: or the protege 5 ?

I'd have to go with the Matrix. Better looking IMHO. Performance-wise, I dunno...

PROTEGE- it is a million times better than the Matrix- Especailly when it comes to giving it a good trashing

They are both ugly IMO, but the Protege is the better looking of the two.

this is good to know that all the people are looking at this bout no one is voteing. i need to know this. this is going to be my next car and i dont know which one to pick. so vote for me
:flash: :confused:

Id definatly go with the Protege 5, it looks a little better (in my opinion) and from what i have seen it performs better. I have drivin a Pontiac Vibe which is basically the same thing as a matrix, just a different body, and it really didnt impress me all that much.

No import man but the Protege 5

i voted protege 5 b/c of the handling the car has...

it is down on power though... and i remember scc had a turbo matrix they were working on, so there's potential there...

it's tough... if you plan on driving it stock, go with the protege...

Protege 5 cuz thye matrix is fugly:apuke:

Isn't the Protoge supposed to be coming out with some bad assed aftermarket stuff from Mazda? I mean the in house brand.. I forgot the name.. Beat? or something?

mazdaspeed is the in house...

racing beat is an outside tuner

yeah mazda is bringing out a turbo protege. its called the mazda speed 6.

Oh, thanks for the clearification.

the mazda speed 6 is not a protege.

it's a mazda 6. tuned by mazdaspeed.

the turbo protege is the mazdaspeed protege as far as i've seen.

Protegé5 w/the Mazdaspeed Protegé turbo engine!

Woohoo
