Last year Car&Driver reviewed the "Mazdaspeed-Protege" "The Nissan Sentra V" Ford Focus "SVT" and the Neon "SRT-4", see, the protege came at 3th place, i mean, Focus? and Neon in 2nd and 1st?? I know the new Neon SRT-4 is really fast, but not reliable, , is a piece if crap car that is cheap with a big motor ... That's why i'll never get a Protege instead a Prelude, the Protege is by the way 170 HP and $20.000, you can find a 30K '00 Lude N/A for like 15K Not Turbocharged and not intercooled ,, with the extra 5K you'll smoke bigger cars than a Protege LOL, that guy maybe was looking for 4 door car for his family LOL
