Default what in the hell is wrong with me

I find the ricer within trying to escape, and have a new found lust for the Mazdaspeed protege.

<img src="http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/2002/new_york/03_mazdaspeed_f34.500.jpg">

170 hp @ 6000rpm, 160 lb/ft @ 3000rpm
Only weighs 2800lbs...this thing is going to be pretty quick and with Mazdas killer suspension and the LSD it most likely won't have much torque steer. Decent looks, only $20,000, excellent handling, decent performance and most likely a dealer backed/warrantied aftermarket...mmm

I'd pick one up as a second car, or hell even as my only car if I could get over the amenities and aesthetics of the Audi.

Looks to be a nice little car.

Default looks like a WRX without all the bad features...

...wheel well flares, bug eye'd headlights...not too shabby.

Default yep...I have a feeling that might change though

There is most likely a high demand for them, Mazda could easily move 20k units a year. Especially with them being priced at $20k, decent features, nice power, superb handling, excellent stereo...Only 2000 units is a shame.

Default I just noticed that now

strikingly similar profile and stance. It could definitley pass for the Scoob.

The Audi is becoming a money pit with all the mods I want to dump into it, and the monthly payments. I would save a ton starting out in a $20,000 car that already comes with a body, suspension, stereo, interior, and rims that I would leave stock. Plus a warranty.
