Wait, I take that back, I do not have the ABS.... that package comes with side air bags or something doesn't it? I dont have that

Yeah mine is 3.5 with cargo net, moonroof deflector, ABS package, AT4 transmission. What they did was give me and extra 4500 for my trade in so that it would pay off more on the payoff. It all kinda comes out to be the same. Well it was like 12800 or something like that.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I am trying to find the best body kit, that suits my eyes. I think the stock looks of the 2003 Protege5 is like way awesome. If I really did not want to do anything to it it would look ready to go as it was. Mazda did about an awesome job on these stock. I...

Yeah my battery is fresh. I just got the car brand new Jan 2,2004 with 23 miles on it. It is just weird how it starts. It is like trying to start an old car with no fuel injection and you do not give it gas first. Very odd for a 21st century car and a new one as well. I am glad to see the...

Not sure if it is a problem, but does anyone else have a 2003 Protege5 that when you start the engine it does not start right away. Mine is brand new. I was just wondering if when you crank it, does it seem like a little slow to turn over?
