not much power but it looks good. there was a blue mp3 sitting next to my rx7 and the guy was in there so i talked to him. cool looking car. sounds good too, and it was the stock exhuast. only 1500 made. i think i would buy one

 

They arent bad looking... stock 17's.... nice stereo... nice ride.... comfortable car. Not a racer. but a nice car...

 

yeah i was suprised at the stock wheels, and the tires are very low profile.

 

hey this thing is tuned by racing beat. with a racing beat exhaust and racing hart rims.

 

Its only like 130hp maybe 140hp tops...

but a nice car none the less....

 

Replaced by the new MazdaSpeed Protege', turbo charged now, 170 hp, didnt get such a great write up, which is dissapointing because I would have ended up buying one, only available in 2 colors, some shitty orange, and black. The thing they say is so bad is the torque steer, which if you never drive a front wheel drive car with some *****, its not so fun, so much so they say dont hit the gas unless you have some room next to you! I have this Infinity rental, the torque steer is horrid, you could easily lose control of the car under heavy acceleration. Also the interior isnt AS nice as the MP3's was. Good news is Callaway did the turbo- thats right, a tuner known for Corvettes and american cars did the tuning for this car.... go figure!

 

if i decide to buy a new car some time instead of a 7 ill get one of them right now im trying to talk my brother into getting one when they come out and getting rid of his p.o.s. cavalier

 

MP3's are very nice cars. Great stereo, good interior, good handlers..........just slower than molasses

 

I like the price, the look, and the ergonomics (fits like a glove).



I don't like the weak engine or the FWD.

 

170hp in a protege may not be too bad. I am used to Torque steer. Our eclipse has it pretty bad.. not hard to control just have to get used to it....
