That looks more like a mazdaspeed edition, I don't know much about them except that they are turbo FWD. I don't know many people that fix them up. Something to look into.

I've heard theres not much you can do to them. Like you can modify it but after you do they start to experience problems. So i guess it depends what you wanna do with it...

its a car there is always a chance at a swap depending on your budget... as for building it i havnt seen many go farther than rims, intake, and exhaust. but lie i said always a chance at swapping in a motor worthy of building like most car owners do.

If your talking about an mp3...its just a protege with a body kit so as far as being reliable goes it should be fine. If you are considering a MAZDASPEED like in the pic, they are fun cars but modding is expensive and there isnt that much aftermarket support. Power wise i have heard of a few making okay numbers but thats with a kit and semi build.
I think they look really nice though
