Hey guys, how ya doin'?!?
Just bought myself a 1997 Protegé LX touring edition... which was, in that year, the highest model available in Québec for sales... we never got mazdaspeed here, except for gen3...
It came with the 1.8L, 5 speed tranny, full electric interior, A/C, and all the good stuff... it's fast enough, but I'm surprised how much gas it guzzles ... I used to own a 88 civic with a 2000 Si engine and ran it to the bone, and it never drank as much as this car... but who cares, now I have comfort...
Only thing I don't like is the hub caps... came with 14 inch 6 spoke caps... looks sport, but it ain't no alloys!! Ah... once the car is payed, they'll get installed...
Anyway, never thought much of mazda's until i drove this one... for sure VW and Honda are going down in my mind... only to be replaced by Mazda...
I don't have any pictures of it yet, I'll try to post some so that you can see what a 97 LX touring looks like... only pictures i have now are of my old civic...
Mazda. True performance.
