new body kit

eibach springs doesnt sound soft to me... maybe u dont understand what that brand is... lool does ur wagon stock have sway/strut bars?
not guna start about the looks ur killin me

uh, yes it does. comes stock with front and rear sway bars, and a front strut tower brace

 

[turboooo]

Have you ever even driven a protege5? If not, just go look at autocross boards, and you will see the P5 walking all over GLI's.

a mazda p5 will not walk anywhere expct behind a GLI...

 

[turboooo]

well... you go handle ur self all over the place while going 10 mph.. u dont wanna roll that wagen over

 

[Salmon_Rob]

pleaseeee explain why u think that...doesnt even compare(shocked)

Even though it weighs a not unsubstantial
3352 pounds ...
It's a difficult car to launch, however, because at idle the floor-mounted throttle feels numb and unresponsive to the kind of prods that usually have engines howling. I'm sure you'd get used to it but all too often I found myself pulling out of intersections with the engine off boost, clenched with fear as the car inches across the road while the engine rubs its eyes and decides which tie to wear. Finally, with oncoming traffic looming large in the side window, 2000 rpm is reached, the engine gets its shot of caffeine and we take off. I also stalled it a few times, which, considering I'm supposed to be a professional, is pretty embarrassing....you thunder into a corner too fast and the GLI begins to understeer

lets see, heavy, unresponsive, and doesnt handle well. anything else?

 

[susamafone]

so youre just a confused vw owner that thinks your car is better. on the straights, yeah, ill admit, ill get my ass handed to me by a gli cause stock it aint got no power. but ill take a mazda in a road course, autox anyday because of the handling capabilities

are you a retard?

and it has bigger sway bars than most of its competition stock. its a car that was sold on its sportiness and handling ability

2004 jetta gli curb weight - 3179 lbs

2003 protege5 curb weight 2716 lbs



that alone is enough to make a HUGE advantage for the protege5 in handling. The pro5 has sway bars and a front strut tower bar, like susamafone said. They're decently substantial too. So until you learn wtf you're talking about.... just be quiet.

 

[susamafone]

god, internet warfare is so much fun when dealing with retards

obiously u have never driven a turbo car... lag is normal.... i garentee a japanize mazdas handleing can not compare to a german GLI... if it was even close to as fast as a GLI u wuld have no handleing ..too bad ur slow and think u can handle corners at 5mph

cute

 

[FrolessWonder]

how about you get the **** off of a mazda forum and stop being an ignornat piece of s***? You havn't driven a Protege5 to even know how it handles.

 

[jmv]

riiiiiight.

I've got a turbo. My car is decently quick.

I've got a stock suspension setup.

I've also got a car that could school you at an auto-x




Seriously, go away, this is a mazda board, and you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

 

[TheBryGuy]
