  Went from a ford escort to the protege lx. Car has good pickup on the highway. Great mileage and the 6 cd changer and sunroof makes it fun to drive, Since I commute everyday good car to drive.

  Brand New ES - 2003 Mazda Protege
  By jscott33 - July 31 - 10:00 am

  This is my first new car and so far it has been great. Great acceleration and fun to drive with the 5-speed manual, light crisp clutch action and supprisingly great low end torque. Tight steering, nice grip, and excellent breaking with front and rear discs. Had to have the alarm adjusted, was a bit to sensitive. Easy adjustment took only a few minutes, knob located by steering column. I have previously owned an escort and a jeep wrangler.

  fun and looks good too - 2003 Mazda Protege
  By therizzzo - July 20 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car for 5wks now and have 3k mi already. This car is not all boring(like Civic and Corolla). The car is very fun to drive, killer suspension, and great option packages. I got all options except for the autodim mirror and cargo acc. for the trunk. Ive already dropped in an aftermarket sound system(1-12" w/250watts, and Boston Acoustics all around @ 50x4). It could use a little more HP, but what car couldnt. MPG could be better for a 2.0 ltr. But, man this thing RUNS out on the freeway. This car beats all other cars in the price range, and I looked at the competition.

  Mazda Protege LX 2.0 2003 - 2003 Mazda Protege
  By Joey pep - July 9 - 11:50 pm

  I was interested in the Protege with the 2.0 engine because of its incredible reliability and performance, but it has a very nice complex style for a car this size. I suggest this car if you hesitate between a Honda Civic, a Protege 2.0 and a Nissan Sentra. And for young drivers, the insurance is pretty low compared to other vehicles. In the 5 spd manual, unlike other cars in that class, you still feel the torque in 3rd and 4th. The LX model is very comfy. And for the admirers of audio systems, dont underestimate the Proteges. I plan on keeping it stock because I love it so much.

  Great performer for the price - 2003 Mazda Protege
  By D-rock240 - June 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car after my Subaru Legacy was totaled by a tractor trailer and was very impressed. I had my reservations about getting a protegé because I didnt like the mid 90s styling. Out of all the cars that I test drove this was the best. This has excellent driver feedback, especially the steering. It turns and stops on a dime and there is no steering looseness whatsoever. With the larger wheels and v-rated tires this car hugs curves. I find myself taking freeway on/off ramps at 40mph just because it sticks so well and there is minimum body roll. The interior is very roomy and the layout is simple and functional. This is the best handling car in class.

  Whats a Protedge? - 2003 Mazda Protege
  By Charlie C. - April 25 - 10:00 am

  I had never thought about a Mazda Protedge. It is without a doubt the best car and most comfortalbe I have ever driven. I am 62" but I can strectch my left leg all the way out I the drivers seat. Who are these people? The fuel economy is great. The ride is very smooth, the stereo is killer. The only drawback I have found is it is a little sluggish on acceleration. Othere than that it is a great car.! Thank you! Thank you, thank you!! Job well done!!! Please, please tell Mazda thank you!
