Hello Mazdas247 members, its been a while since I've been on the forums here! But I would really like some thoughts on some Mazdas I'm looking at to possibly purchase. I'm looking at 2 Mazda 6 sport sedans right now. One is a 2006 Mazda 6s with the 3.0 V6 and a 5 speed transmission, with only...

So as I'm walking around the Protege5 today, I notice the rear diver side suspension is wayyy lower than the other side. My car is 1/4th lowrider right now. I've never dealt with suspension problems, does anyone know what could possibly be wrong with it? Does this look like an easy fix that I...

Nice! Is it said to give more performance than whatever was stock? But yes here's one: I think it looks pretty cool! Also, check out my old whip in that photo. 96 Ford Taurus, Couldn't have been happier to get this Mazda Protege5 to replace it

So, I've got a 2002 Mazda Protege5 that's practically all stock. I've asked around to see where I should start upgrading it, and a lot of people have said a cold air intake is a good place to start. After some looking at the differences between CAI's and short ram intakes I found a short ram...

It was a one owner car and she really took great care of it the whole time. I'm in southern Indiana. Cars can tend to rust out here so there is a little. But overall I couldn't have been happier with the condition of it.

Thanks! I have heard they are really reliable, and seems to be the case.

What up dudes, first post in the forums. I bought a P5 back in October, and it's been my favorite car I've owned to date. It's all stock but in great condition and still runs really strong at 162k miles. I plan on having it for a while and would like to get into customizing it a bit. For now...
