Why should I buy a Mazdaspeed Protege?

[Tengo]

I'd expect the price drops to continue for 12-18 mo., then they'll probably level off again at between 7-9k.

patienttly waiting for that.

Why should I buy a Mazdaspeed Protege? --> It's a unique car! Fun to drive (maybe the best chassis in its category), looks good. Will quite easily take 20% more power (which is about right for this car IMO). Above that, take the "easy" out, you're on your own!
