Please only reply if you have personal experience with both cars (meaning have owned both cars or have driven both for a long time, I know I don't qualify but that's why i am posting this).
So my gf is looking for a car currenly. Since she likes mine so much I suggested to her that she should look at the protege5. After all I think they are stylish and zoom zoom (I got her hooked on imports and hatch hehe). We finally got to drive one this week at the dealership when I picked up my car.
Wow, this little car seems so nimble and communicative. I was driving the P5 thru some curvy roads and every turn I took the car gave excellent feedback through the steering wheel. I was amazed how much more fun the P5 seems compare to ours. I know the P5 isn't better then ours in many aspects. For example our engine is a lot more willing to rev but that's because we have a bigger engine. Our brakes are much much better and more linear. Also the mz3 looks and has more space inside and looks a lot better.
Our car is a solid performer, it feels more rigid and refine in many ways but the P5 definitely has more zoom zoom. It's like a sedan compared to a roadster.
I blame the 3's engineers on the electro hydraulic steering. Mad What do you guys think?
