you guys still don't get, do you?
the mazdaspeed protege was engineered under the most rigorous standards of the time. every part of it functional in one way or another. the front bumper channels airflow effectively away from the SMIC. the coolant catch can efectively works by allowing the car to have that "coolant" smell we all love. Transmissions were engineered with brittle LSD's inside to let us know when we are giving too much torque. Rear wind is also engineered with performance in mind, it effectively helps you close the trunk faster due to its weight. there was also improvements in the audio dept. in the Mazdaspeed Protege. at 10k miles, the radio stops working allowing you more attention to road hazards and efefctively minimizing sound pollution related tickets. The suspension was also well thought out, Tokiko engineered specially modified Tokiko Blues, the warn you when passing over bumps at slow speeds by whistling when compressed when cold, this and the Rear Sway bar "clunk"(as wrongfully referred to by some users) will make your journey thru speed bumps that much safer. Turbos were also engineered to maximize performance by releasing "BLUE SMOKE" letting you know you are under hard acceleration(people confuse this with oil leaks). On the same subject, pipes are made of surgically engineered plastic allowing for excess boost to "leak" preventing premature engine failure, together with the bypass valve and the pass-thru wastegate actuator, this system is designed to perform and give you "boost spikes" randomly and as necessary to continue the driving experience. Turkey-like sounds where added to compliment the lack of cruise control. At every shift, it reminds you that you have the baddest most awesome machine on the road.
as you can see....stop complaining about a wing....look at the awesomeness of the rest of the car...soon you will find out that the wing isn't all that important anyways.
