Hi Everyone...

I currently drive an Integra GSR sedan.... but and thinking about selling it and getting a 2003 Protege5. Just wanted to see others opinions that used to drive a Integra and how they like the Protege5 compaired to an Integra.

I am also considering a WRX wagon... any thoughts here as well?

Thanks!

The P5 has a great stock suspension design. It will always bring a smile to your face.

I am a huge fan of my P5. However, the WRX wagon is faster, better suspension, takes upgrades better, will probably retain its value better (though the P5 is good in this area as well.) The P5 looks much better than the WRX Wagon, in my opinion, but it is really about what makes you happy. If I could do it all over again, I would still get the P5, and take the extra money a saved from the Wagon and by fun bolt-ons!

ive had mine for about 10 months and dont regret a thing. the power isnt all that great but the handling and looks make up for it

The handling is definetly the p5s strong suit.

I would drive a wrx first though, definetly faster in a straight line.

i took a look at the wrx wagon, cause i wanted a wagon/hatchback, but i couldnt really find any within 50 miles of where i live, and i didnt want to venture any further

the looks of the p5 is what first got me hooked, i went to a carmax, looking for a used mazda3 under 15 grand, what was i thinking?
anyways, the guy there pointed me towards the protege5, they had two, one of which i fell in love with; red, red&black leather, racinghart wheels, real nice; it was gone after the weekend


so i spent about a month, almost 2 constantly looking for protege5's aorund my area, i first test drove an 02 model, and i was just amazed, of course im used to driving a SUV and a mini-van

so about a month after that, i ended up buying mine, which would be about a week ago now, i have a hard time keeping my mom from driving it, she like sit too much, good thing my dad doesnt like it, cause he doesnt like being so low


anyways, i LOVE to drive this thing, its so much fun to just go around town

anyways, im VERY glad i have one now
