The MP3....Any good?

The Special Edition MP3 Protage.....is that car any good? or is it just a bunch of nice lookin crap thrown together? Im lookin for a new car and its a possibility....thanks.

I've heard very good things about it, but it's still very new, so I am not sure...

I think the car looks Awesome, one of the best looking cars these days, INterior, wheels, exhaust and system already upgraded from factory, can't beat that for the price, Just wish it had more power, but Mazda promised in future models this problem will be adressed.. :grey:

Check out the new Road and Track. Slalom MPH is better than a new 'Vette!!!

I'm considering trading in the almighty Stealth for one. They look REAL nice in person.

If you're looking for a fast car look elsewhere, show-wise it'd be my #1 pick :cool:

Yeah, it`s an awesome car, but I wouldn`t purchase one yet. It will get better next year, I heard rumors that Mazda will Turbocharge the 2003 edition, thus eliminating the mp3`s only flaw, a 140hp engine!is that really a flaw? I heard the Mp3 audio system was bliss, Kenwood manufactures it.

I like both, what about you? The 5 door hatch/wagon/ or the sedan. I slightly prefer the sedan, a red one, yeah. I haven´t seen many around, so they look original.

does neone have pics ive never seen one?

No but there awsome looking

go to road and track and check that out it was in there like last month

According to Car and Driver, Mazda is coming out w/ a new Protege MP3 near the end of this year. Perhaps October. It will come in one color: orange. Its not that bad of an orange, has a custom-paint look to it. It will also have a Garrett Turbocharger adding 30hp to total 170. The inside will have a sweet shifter and pedals from Sparco. Two-tone seats and 3-spoke steering wheel. Oh yea, Racing Hart wheels. It looks sweet from the picture I have in the magazine. If you want more info, go to Mazda.com, and search for Mazdaspeed. Perhaps if it kicked out 190 hp, i wouldve gone for it, but ill stick w/ my Type R.

The website says to check back july 1, they should have the spec's then.
Check it out its under vehicles called mazdaspeed.
