A'ight folks..

I'm curious, what's the difference between the versions of Protege5's? .. I'm new to the whole Protege5 world, and I'm planning on purchasing one in the next few weeks.. And this may be a stupid question, but what are the differences between the MP3 and the MP5 and so on and so forth..

Thanks!

 

The MP3 is basically a Protege sedan with a body kit, a new ECU, a strut tower bar, wheels, stereo, axle-back exhaust, and some other stuff. It makes about 140HP, while the sedan does 130HP or so. The Protege5 and sedan are the same except for a few minor details like the strut tower bar (lacking on sedan) and length, and obviously the Protege5 is a hatchback.

 

So then all the Protege5's are the same (minus the different features, of course..I may be stupid, but I'm not that stupid), I assume?

 

The 2002 P5 has different wheels than the 2002.5-2003.
Other differences: cup holders, side markers, headlights & door trim--all pretty minor changes. An "autosport" tranny is also offered on the new ones.

But yeah... they're pretty much unchanged. All parts are interchangable.
