I read the articles in Car and Drive, Autoweek, and Motortrend on the Mazdaspeed Protege, and all of them seamed to generaly think the MSP kicked ass. Everyone except C&D that is. They mentioned a "huge" problem with Tourqe Steer, which they said wasreally severe and jerked the wheel signifigantly enough where a full speed launch in traffic wasn't really suggested (i don't know why you would try a full speed launch in traffic anyways, but who knows). Either way, im just wondering why this huge, odvious problem wasn't mentioned in MotorTrend or Autoweek. I'm thinking i might have something to do with the front alignment on the test car C&D was driving. On the MSP website, one of the designers was quoted as saying "Front Alignment is an art, each MSP will have to be aligned by hand at the dealer before they go out". Maybe the tourqe steer was due to that. Any thoughts on this?
