I got the call this morning: The orange Mazdaspeed Protege that I've had a deposit on since September was delivered to the dealership. I test drove it this afternoon, only about 3-4 miles with the salesman. I kept the revs below 4k with a couple of blasts to 4400 or so. I certainly didn't test the limits of the car, but I'm very impressed! Everything was excellent, handling, acceleration, braking, comfort, etc. Most surprising was how loud the bypass valve is. I found myself chuckling after every shift at the chipmunk under my hood. Or should I say the hood...
Yes, it's been a long wait, and I've grown tired of the once fresh and new Spicy Orange, and the styling just seems like an MP3 or P5, and seeing how this will be my first new car and my largest purchase ever (other than my house) I've decided to wait for the titanium 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege (guess I should work on a new avatar.) Here's hoping that it shows up in a more timely fashion, or I might be moving my deposit on to a 2004 MSP
.
But, for anybody still waiting or looking for a spicy orange MSP, you're in luck! There's one available, right now! It's at Nucar Mazda in New Castle, Delaware. Call 800-486-6370, ask for Joe Buccos (pronounced BEW-kohs) and tell him Jason referred you. Thanks.
