    Awesome little car if u know what u want it for , not much cargo space when u have people sitting in the back seat ..the car is a lot of fun to drive not much power but trust me it gives u a nice feeling when u accelerate.

    The best thing I can say about this car is that it is soooooo much fun to drive. The most fun is found on a deserted curvy road and the least fun is found sitting in traffic. This car begs to run.

    Best car I have ever owned hands down. Needs a little more power, but overall great car!

    Love the handling! Very nice around twisties. Engine likes high rpms. I love the crisp throttle response, when youve got the engine above 3000 rpms in 3rd thru 5th gear. Cannot imagine having an automatic when the manual is so much fun to drive! I like the smooth ride and the interior is very nicely thought out (no quirks in the design). Audio is definitely sufficient (6 spkrs - 6cd changer) for the frequent rocker! But the best feature is the handling, steering response, and the handling and the steering response, and handling/steering response is great. I also like the handling/steering of the vehicle.

    This is a great car. It handles very well, gets great mileage, and looks great! Get it in silver. I have never been able to turn heads in such an inexpensive car. The interior is rock solid. It never rattles, and the look would be appropriate in several pricier cars.

  • Could use more power - 2003 Mazda Protege5

    Just got the car two days ago. Brand new 2003 off the lot. I was leaning towards a Saturn, but the salesman lied to me. Went to the Mazda dealer on a whim, and was surprised at what the P5 had to offer. It had more options then I cared for. Could care less about the moon roof & CD changer. The black color is sharp looking. Needs more power. Breaks good for not having ABS. Wondering how it is going to handle in the ice & snow, which we have here in Up-State NY for 7 to 8 months out of the year? Over all I am very impressed about this little car, which is the first Japan made vehicle I have ever owned.

    Compare the features with the competition and the decision is obvious.

  • Still Fun - 2003 Mazda Protege5
    By -

    When I first looked at this car I thought that it was a neat little car, but then I drove it and was pleasently suprised at the performance, cargo room, and comfort that this little big car offered. The car I had before this was a 97 Camaro Z28 with some mods and I was still impressed by the handeling of this little car and all of the stuff you get for a basic model.

    Handling is unbelievable. Handles far better then my wifes Maxima. Overall a blast to drive. Could use more power but hopefully the 3 took care of that! Get the AUTOSTICK its worth the money! Overall this is a great compact.
