The Bose system in the 6 is decent but it's very factory and requires an extra 250 bucks for MP3. Sure it doesn't compare to many aftermarket replacement designs but it's great compared to any other factory system. Everyone will tell you that it isn't great. Another MSP plus is the stereo which is pretty damned good. Altogether it's a must have if you get the MSP. The solution is a 200 dollar CAI from Injen which not only makes the MSP run better but a decent bit faster as well. There is a delay feeling with the engine that has to do with the intake. There have been problems with the Mazdaspeed as can be seen on. There is a difference in feedback when good suspension hits a bump versus so so suspension that is just firm as hell. The Mazdaspeed is not a 6s but it feels sporty going over bumps if you know what I mean. The PR5 feels like I ran over a tree stump on the smallest holes. The suspension is very stiff but it "hits" bumps much better than the PR5. The Mazdaspeed felt more substantial than the PR5 when I first pulled it onto the street. I still like the PR5 for it is a great handling wagon that allows me to haul things a little better than a sedan. My PR5 is the worst car for bumps than any I have ever been in. I think Proteges are terrible on harsh roads with lots of potholes. The MSP is much better in ways than my PR5 and can be had cheap if you know where to go and how to negotiate. I was originally looking at the 6s which looks and feels great but is hard to get and not quite as fun as I once considered it. I have test driven the Mazdaspeed Protege(Once) the Mazda 6s Manual (5 times) and I own a 2002 PR5. So basically its a great track car, but its no 98 eclipse GSX in that your not going to be able to get 500hp out of it simply by buying a boost controller. for me its still between that and the SVT Focus. basically though it's a solid car, go for the 2003.5 as they are a little less "boy racer" inside. since this was a parts bin car, some things like the intercooler were taken off other cars, in this case a diesel mazda. you can probably see improvements with a better exhaust and a real intercooler. guys with manual boost controllers dont go above 9.5 lbs. they are stock protege internals and can't handle much more boost. 1) a lot has been done for you allready suspension wise. Well you shouldn't double post things, but since im not a mod, i dont really care here is my responce from the other post in case you stop here first.
