      well...dunno, its prbably a Mazda FS type engine..but its turbocharged...all the same, thats a MILH (Mazda I'd Like To Have ) according to wikipedia:

      In 2003, Mazdaspeed introduced the Mazdaspeed Protégé, an update to the Protégé MP3 that had a 170 hp (127 kW)/160 ft·lbf (217 N·m) turbocharged engine, shared the MP3's full Racing Beat suspension, redesigned 17-inch (430 mm) wheels, larger four-wheel disc brakes, and a Kenwood stereo system that included an amplifier along with a rear-deck mounted 8-inch (200 mm) sub. Mazda then followed with a mid year change dubbed the "2003.5." This model included a different aero-kit, the same 17-inch (430 mm) Racing Beat wheels, but with a darker color, and custom interior pieces. In total, there were only 4,500 Mazdaspeed Protégé models ever produced. (1,750 Black/Orange (2003) and 2,750 Yellow/Titanium/Blue/Silver (2003.5/7))

        Those are really nice cars. A little low on power but I hear they handle like a dream.

          At least she didn't catch you looking at another gurl...then the fur'd really fly.

            ^^ I dunno which is worse! Sometimes they get more PO'd when you ogle a car than another female!

            Uhhh.... not that I have any specific experience with that, mind you....

            Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

              haha, yea, I know what you mean..... I said "look at that car...ooooo, I've heard those are zippy and handle well", and started to check it out from afar...she didnt even know what i was talking about, lol, she thought I meant some suburu near by, lol, with probably a V6, lol, those are way too common. This car though, is a beautiful piece of machinary, I like the color of it especially!
