Why the 2003 Mazda Protege?

Brand reputation & image

Many other car companies come with a community behind them as well. The Mazda community is just amazing, the amount of immature bragging compared with other car companies is invisible, people are all about helping each other out. It is truely amazing.

Why Not the 2003 Mazda Protege?

Powertrain performance

Unfortunately Mazdaspeed was quite rushed when developing this car and so it suffers from a few issues. The motor was not reinforced to handle the turbocharger, and may break. The LSD tends to snap if not repaired early. And the wastegates fail.
