ChMiPr, hang out with us longer on this forum and you'll learn a LOT of new information about the Mazdaspeed Protege. And no, the MSP is not a 4wd drivetrain. I'm actually happy they didn't go 4wd. Just imagine that only 170hp, we'll lose soo much power through the drivetrain.
Grimace - When are you expecting the car? Are you planning going to the Meeting of Mazda's on April 5th? If so, i hope you can join us on a MSP exclusive pre-meet on that date. More information to come.

ChMiPr... remember although it is turbocharged it is still on the stock protege engine that produces 130 hp. And a gain of 40 hp is about average for any general turbo upgrade. It's what can be done to the engine/turbo/rest of the car that makes it a true beast. One fun thing about the MSP is while it is not perfect from the factory it is much further along that almost every other car in its class. Because it is further along that means that you spend less on upgrades in the performance area

I Love My MAZDASPEED!!!!!!! (k) (k) (k)
Limited Edition - Dealer just told me "Within 30 days of when they order the car they will get it." That was Wednesday the 18th of March they told me that.
Then on Thursday, I got a call asking me to come into the dealer, that there was some type of problem (but they couldn't tell me over the phone.) So, 1.5 hours later on the road, I get to the dealer to find out my application was rejected by Mazda Canada. They need a co-signer. :mad: That is bad enough by itself, since my salary is more than enough to cover the cost of the car a few times over a year... But not only that, the cosigner has to come in on the day the car arrives at the dealer.
My potential cosigner lives 4 hours away...
If I can't get around this cosigner BS, I may have to back out of the deal altogether.
