  Best Decision I could have made! - 2002 Mazda Protege5
  By TR - April 21 - 11:56 pm

  I got this car new in 02. Candy apple red with leather! I love it, love it, love it! It has been a great car. Always get looks and compliments from young guys b/c of the sweet wheels. Have 156K miles on it and am getting a new car now but only because I am getting tired of hauling stuff for other people ---fold down the seats and this car will a twin size bed, an armchair, 20 clowns and 1 elephant. Im getting a 2 seater so no one can ask me to help them move ever again!

  Great car - great value! - 2003 Mazda Protege5
  By InfoMan - April 5 - 10:00 am

  I recently decided to replace my VW Golf TDI with Protege5. Allthough the diesel mileage was nice, I needed something more exciting but still affordable. Protege5 seams to be the right choice. Reliability should be excellent, it has all the equipment I was looking for, it is a lot of fun to drive and I got used to this car in one afternoon. handling and braking is excellent, better than almost any car in this class. Build quality is very good and price was surprisingly low for what youre getting. I added auto trans, ABS and side air bags to the basic configuration and paid 15K includung all taxes and fees!

  Fun Car at Excellent Price - 2003 Mazda Protege5
  By mikepowie - April 5 - 10:00 am

  Bought a 2003 MP5 a few weeks ago. Wanted to drive it a few weeks before writing a review. Mines a fully loaded (leather, ABS, moon roof, roof rack, polished wheels, etc) manual. End of the year rebates allowed me to get it out the door for $15,250. I had driven a (very) old Mazda 323, so the is a huge step up. Test drove it based on looks, but bought it for the performance and interior styling. Having driven some other new cars, I cant say theres one nearly as nice, or performs as well, for the price.

  I absolutely love this car!! On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 100 in fun to drive and exterior design. I think this car has great lines and unprecedented style.

  Great car for the money - 2002 Mazda Protege5
  By rwm - March 28 - 10:00 am

  Keep up the good work Mazda. Got the car in January and have almost 9000 miles on it without a single problem (other than a rock chip in the fog light). As with my Miata, the build quality seems very good. The car could use a more powerful motor, but the handling is great. The interior is well laid out and seems to be holding up well to the abuse of two children. This car is a great deal for what it costs.

  Great! - 2003 Mazda Protege5
  By Edunbar - March 27 - 10:10 pm

  I love my car, it has been great. I get great gas mileage. Ever since I bought it I have never had a problem. Mazda is a great company and really are striving to make their customers happy. My Mazda Protege5 is like a SUV without the gas mileage. I can fit everything to go camping and rafting in the back without taking all the seating out, etc. It is an awesome car for someone wanting a family vehicle.

  my 2003 mazda pr5 - 2003 Mazda Protege5
  By Dan Oriley - March 24 - 2:00 am

  I have not a had any problems with my pr5. I find it exceptionally fun to drive and sporty. Everything in the interior is well designed and easy to access from the drivers seat. The six disc cd changer comes in handy for road trips.Overall I would rate this vehicle very high.

  I LOVE THIS CAR! - 2002 Mazda Protege5
  By vrosebud713 - March 24 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car 6 months ago and I love it. I love the design, interior EVERYTHING!! I bought it because I needed something for me and my infant but I didnt want a station wagon. I get the best of both worlds in the car. Its a wagon but its sporty enough that I dont feel like a mom taxi!
