MP5's brake setup

I just read a review of a P5 at protegetech.com and it mentioned that the test car did not have 4 wheel disc brakes. It said something about the p5 having a disc/drum setup and his ES having 4 wheel discs. I thought discs at every corner where standard on our P5's. The reviewer kind of griped about it so I don't think it was a miss print.

Anyway, someone buy me a Turbo!

all P5's have disk brakes on all 4 wheels, its the Lx i think that has the disk breaks in front and drums on the back....the ES has disk breaks on the front and back like the P5

yeah thats what I thought

The review clearly stated their test P5 had only average braking and feel becuase of its Disc/Drum setup

www.protegetech.com check out the review section for the P5

Where was that review? The one I read clearly stated the Protege 5 has 4 wheel disc brakes, although it did say they were marginal. Are you talking about the review of the yellow P5 listed under Reviews on the site?
