- soon to be an '02 Protege5
Hey all.. I am very new here. I am planning on getting rid of my 2002 Honda Civic Si and get into a Vivid Yellow '02 Protege5. I went down to a dealership to testdrive one. But they did not have any used ones. I have to say that despite the flaws 'edmunds.com' says about the car, I reaaaaaly love it. Although I felt like the shifter knob was a little large. Also all the accents and fine touches inthe cab really clinched my want. But I want to get into a used one because they are only about 13K here in Phoenix, AZ. This would lower my payments but a few hundred dollars and I would still have a very well handling car with lots of little extras. I like my Si a lot. And I am sure it will last a long time, but I paid a premium for it because I got it the 1st week it has been out. Only had 2 miles on it when I test drove it.
But because the '03 was the only one I could test I was curious to see if you folks knew the differences between the '02 & '03?
Also if you had to choose between a moon roof and a roof rack what would you use? Personally, I love the look that the roof rack adds to the car, although I doubt I would EVER use it for anything other than looks. Or would you go with a moon-roof? I know I would use that a lot, especially during the winter. I would rather have that open than my windows. My Si has one and I find my self using it almost any time it is not a million degrees outside. I know some of them come witth both. Did any of the '02s come with both?
Sorry for the long post. And thanks to those out there that pay for an maintain this site. I can not wait to post pics of my P5 some time late next month.
