Great article with some super nice pics.  It's late ... feeling too lazy to post the rest of the pics directly to the forum. |

Fantastic! A WHITE CAR! damnit, cars look good in white.
Anyway, I really love this car. I hope that magical niche market between economy and luxury grows with more small cars like this

I hope that magical niche market between economy and luxury grows with more small cars like this They look good if they are clean. Unfortunately they rarely are... I have a Protegé 5 and I think it's way better looking than this Mazda3 Sport replacement. I'd love to have that engine in my car though, it would be nice to have the extra HP. |

I personally think White cars hide dirt way better than dark colors. My car looks filthy unless it's been very recently washed, whereas my dad's white pickup manages to look clean even if he hasn't washed it for three weeks, and he's not the on who parks in the garage.

You havent owned a white car have you clark? Its really compairable with black in hiding dirt only instead of light spots you get darks spots and in most instances its about 400x harder to clean because it will sometimes even stain the paint.

My parents have owned 4 white cars since 1988, so I've had a lot of experience with them, and in my experience, a dirty white car doesn't look nearly as dirty as a dirty black car.

 Mmmm that feels nice. Group: Admin Posts: 11,193 Joined: 26-August 03 From: Atlanta Member No.: 2 Car: 2018 Hyundai ES/1994 Mazda Miata |
Cleaning a white car is a pain in the ass. Dirt shows up well on my Corsica. However my MR2 it's not very noticeable when it's dirty. Of course its not very noticeable when its clean either since its GRAY!

when a white car is dirty its hard to tell untill u wipe some of it clean, my moms subaru legacy is white
also i agree that the protege 5 looks nicer than the three, but it needs the three's engine |
