Would you have the P5 if...

[Salmon_Rob]

my plan is to replace it with a sport 20. a real one.

 

[Purrfectangel]

Only have 68K miles on her, but someday she'll have to be replaced. THAT will be a sad day. Haven't seen anything as good lately, for the value.

Replaced...NEVER!!!

hahaha, just retired for the more special occasions in life...

 

[Crazee D]

Yah, mine used to feel nice to drive until I had to go upgrading everything!
Eibachs, HPs, spacers, brakes, rotors, SS lines, trailin arms, F & R links, AWR RSB, motor mount, etc...
Now it drives like a jackhammer.

 

[Demoniam]

This may be the first vehicle that I'll prolly rebuild if the engine goes..

 

[CTt3P5]

^^^Have been thinking the same thing!

IF???

LOL I'm on my second motor already and looking in the future for a built motor to replace the one currently under my hood.

 

[Demoniam]

Damn, Bill...What the hell do you do to that car??!! Blowing s*** up like the Taliban..LOL!!

 

[bazooka joe]

i'm getting an engine stand for christmas!!! (yes)

 

[Salmon_Rob]

its one of the most useful gifts to have if you own a mazda

 

[Kansei]

you guys.. the Protege5 is a great car, the stock engine works very well for what it was made as.. a ~100whp 2.0 4-cyl stuck on a sporty econowagon chassis.

Barring some slight manufacturing defects (intake manifold butterly screws, random lemons, etc) it's a damn reliable little car, and plenty of fun. My car could be much less reliable than it has been and I would still be quite happy with it

 

[altspace]

Hell yea it's been the most reliable car I have ever own.

 

[bazooka joe]

Hell yea it's been the most reliable car I have ever own.
