My dad had a 2004 dodge ram that in 1yr and 50kmiles he put in 3 transmissions, 2 front rack and pinions, and 3 power steering pumps. I guess thats why dodge offers a decent warranty... they know their products are shit.

My point exactly.

THEY know their products are the shit.

And so you know, the 3rd best car i ever owned was a ford.....91 merc tracer...had it for 2 years before the tranny went out.

order of cars that were best for me..

  1. acura rsx
  2. honda civic
  3. merc tracer
  4. buick century
  5. olds calai (beat the shit out of this one...my first car!!!)
  6. eagle talon

Im a car guy, I work on them for a living...I appreciate them all, i just know a lot of their flaws since i have to deal with them all the time. MY OPINION.

I havent had anything majorly mechanical go wrong with my car in 30,000 miles of hard hard driving. Only big problem to date is my slipping clutch, and SVT has admitted to their fuck up... there was a problem with assembly and the plate that engages the clutch causes unusually fast wear to the clutch. SVT is replacing the clutches with a much better clutch for anyone having these problems.

I have had worse luck with crystler and gm... every vehicle I have owned from them has blown up or had some other major problem. 1990 jeep cherokee limited = blown headgasket, 1988 dodge daytona = blown head gasket, 1992 olds achieva = blown headgasket, 2001 jeep wrangler = every major seal in transmission, transfer case, and differentials rotted out and leaking fluids due to sitting in the lot for 6 months.

My dad had a 2004 dodge ram that in 1yr and 50kmiles he put in 3 transmissions, 2 front rack and pinions, and 3 power steering pumps. I guess thats why dodge offers a decent warranty... they know their products are shit.

But this era has been around much longer than that. But the one thing that came out of the movie that has helped everything is the fact that it has helped to boost the sales of aftermarket parts for this era, Would the Focus be where it is now without those movies and the damand for the parts???? and yes, im talking about a lot of these high end versions of the cars, like the SVT, STI, SI, Type-R/S, R32, and many other versions of every car out there. But we all are entitled to our own opinion. Mine is mainly based on experience working on the bastards. Like I said in another post, I'd work on a Honda over a ford anyday. I did forget to mention that I dont make money on Honda's, I make them on Chryslers, Fords, and GMs, because I'm repairing them every single day. I will admit one thing though, I dont know if my next car will be a Honda or a Toyota.....Because I rarely see them in my shop, only for tires/and other maintence things....rarely any repairs.

Havn't had the car in town all week. I've seen 2 other blue mp3's in town. There is one with altezza's and exhaust that is always parked on 8th Ave. North.

By the way....The mp3 is not just a protege with a kenwood system. AND..Mp3's were produced for only 1 year. The mazda speeds were produced for 2 years. "While the MP3 system is the focus of the car, its performance enhancements are really what the MP3's driving experience are all about. The MP3's increase in performance is due to recalibrated ignition timing and air/fuel ratio, a revised intake manifold, and a low back-pressure exhaust. Suspension refinements were developed by Racing Beat. Additions include Tokico shocks, increased spring rates, larger stabilizer bars, and chassis reinforcements. In addition, a quicker 15.4:1 steering ratio adds more precision and feedback to the steering. Mazda teamed up with Takechi Project Company and Dunlop Tire to introduce a unique wheel and tire package: one-piece 17" x 7" Racing Hart alloy wheels and low-profile Dunlop SP9000 205/45ZR-17 inch tires. The MP3's interior is similar to the Protegé ES with the GT package: white-faced gauges, carbon-fibre and silver interior trim, and leather 3-spoke Nardi steering wheel. The MP3 has a unique shift knob, additional silver trim on the dash and seats, and of course the Kenwood sound system"
The only thing it lacks is the turbo, which makes the mazdaspeed what it is.

That one just has Kenwood system in it that plays MP3s. Came from the factory like that. Current aftermarket mods not known.
