assuming your business makes enough money to benefit from a tax break from leasing a car

My lease is $310 a month tax in and my buy out is only $7800. I put $2500 down. I figure with 2 1/2 years left at the end the car will for sure be worth atleast $7800. I'll probably be able to get 10,500-11,000 which will make up for the down and some.

I have a business and writing your car off is not as easy any more. they watch you a lot more and if your not careful you can get screwed with Business insurance...$$ouch

i'm not too sure about the price but the Mazdaspeed Protege is a very quick car. My friend recently bought one and it can easily take my 2000 SiR (I/H/E).

Stock Turbo!!!

How quick are they? I looked at the specs, and they're running stock internals, the same as the normal protege.

I might not know much about technical aspects of cars, but the specs for SE-R do look impressive compared to Civic.
The numbers are impressive, how it really performs is not, I kinda expected a much better performance with those numbers.

the mazdaspeed runs at 170 @ 6000 rpm, and 160 @ 3500 rpm.
not to mention all the stuff like the kenwood system, tokico shocks, and racing hart rims all come from the factory. Meaning that everything you get comes with a warranty. Not too shabby in my opinion.

I am with you on that one, I too think the rear end is quite ugly, but front is killer.

A Nissan SE-R (V-Spec?) beating an Acura RSX Type S? I doubt that.

lolz..i dunno man.. i think my car looks better than that but not as fast as that though... i only like the front.. if they did a better job on the design. i bet it would have done better. and the engine is not even available in japan.. the SE-R model is strictly a north american model. kinda suck's!!

SE-R is alright, I like the blue colour they have, but the car IMO doesn't appeal

You can't really knock the Spec-V, It's a good car. As far as beating an RSX-S......no. But it does keep up with it. The RSX will still have a hard time pulling away from one. A friend of mine has a Spec-V and I have 02 SiR. His car is faster but he still can't pull away from me. Both cars stock. IMO all these cars are good. Including Domestic's. It just depends on personal preference. Honda's may not be the best cars, but nothing, and I mean nothing beats a Honda transmission. Which makes them so fun to drive!

I think as far as reliability goes, Honda are one of the best.

SE-R looks like crap...the interior is mad ugly too. The SRT-4, turbo or not, is still a god damn Neon, who cares! It's like those dudes with old school Datsun's--paint is cracked, only the back two windows are tinted because the back one broke and they never had enough money to replace it, smells like diapers--who have them all built up to go fast, yet, in the end, they still look like ****. I got beat by one of those, at the next light, i looked at him, , and said "well, at least my car doesn't look like s**t", and started to laugh . Sooo, not the end of the story, he turns his radio up (nice deck, looks like those $40 decks you snag off Ebay) and it's just horrible. I turned my music up and drowned him out, he might have power over me, but I got the looks. Besides, 99.9% of the hoes go for "show", not "go"!
