This is a good sign. I did own a Protege 5 but I sold it as the back end had some bad rust spots. Thanks for the replies. KB

Bump. No replies yet.......a good sign?

Hi, My wife and I are looking to get a 2010 Mazda 5 for our family. It would suit our needs perfectly and the size of it is just right. My question concerns rust. Does the 5 have rusting problems like the 3, and the previous gen Protege5 do? Has the Mazda 5 improved in this regard? Thanks! KB

Try pulling the terminals off the battery for 15 minutes or so, reconnect, then see if the alarm goes off. M

If you have kids, leather is the better option IMO - Easier to clean. M

Fish Bowl FTW!!!!!...............Actually a tint all the way around (except the windshield) looks good. M

I have a Mazdaspeed model for the Protege 5 you can have for 2 movie passes. Let me know. M

The hatch is growing on me. I really hope that they improve the paint jobs this time around.

8x1.25 bolt and tighten it in the hole. Woo hoo good tip for next time!!!

Mine did the same thing. It's rusted to the hub. Use a rubber mallat and pound away. It may help to use anti seize or WD 40 to help work things loose.(use threaded hole tasty is speaking of.) Be sure to use brake cleaner to any effected parts before reassembling.

How about my cracked up and yellowed CF engine cover?

I think that your springs are fine. Get the Tokico HP struts and your set.

Sold! Is it Chocolate or white? Glue gun....good idea!

I need to get a windshield washer resevoir as mine sprang a leak! Does anyone know which auto wreakers in Calgary have 02-03 protege's/protege5's? Thanks, Mike.
