Mazda Protege5

Post by fuel4soul »

My next-door-neighbors just got a nice electric blue one that caught my eye, I stare at it every time I come and go. Kinda wagon-ish but I still like, And they are pretty good prices. Anyone test drive these or know anything about them?

Oh yeah I totally agree with you! I have posted this before but if I didn't have the Vibe, the Mazda 3 would be a the front runner for me

I saw a 6s, it was sweeeeet.me too. i considered the 6s, but they didn't have the right price tag at the time. plus, with the first year on the car/engine, i didn't want to chance it. still, maybe in a few years..... my truck was the longest i've ever owned a vehicle (2 yrs). until that, it was only 1 yr.
