A Solid Performer

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: Nicely styled interior and exterior, very economical to drive. A great car to drive around town.
Review: A Solid Performer

Mazda protege SE, 2001

For 2001 Mazda increased the power of this highly rated compact sedan. They have done away with the
1.8-liter engine and replaced it by a 2-liters one that will develop 130 horsepower...

Zoom Zoom Zoooooooom!!!!

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: I love this car. It's a tight race in the compact car world, but in my opinion, the Protege wins the race!!
Review: The car I own is a black 2001 Mazda Protege 2.0L LX 5-speed manual. The options I have are power door locks, ABS, and air-conditioning. Dual front 2nd generation air bags are standard. Side air bags are not available in Canada, but they are in the...

Not my first choice, but a good choice.

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: With the 2.0 liter engine this would be a great car!
Review: Due to my business travels, I tend to drive a variety of cars. When a model I haven't driven yet is offered, I like to make it my choice... As such, this will not be a review from a "long time owner" but rather like an unbiased test drive...

Cute but demanding

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a good first car for someone who wants a little pep and doesn't mind getting his teeth jarred out of his skull occasionally.
Review: I bought a used Protege LX 2.0 (with automatic transmission) about 3 years ago. I liked a lot of things about it. It was in my price range, it had a sunroof, and it had sort of sporty styling.

Looking back, I'm still glad I bought this...

No Complaints

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: A perfect car for someone who is value conscious, but doesn't want to sacrifice look and relative performance.
Review: I bought this car new and over two years later we still fully enjoy our 4-door, standard transmission, '01 Mazda Protege ESGT sedan.

As my wife and I live on the West Coast of Canada this car was built in Japan we are very happy and...

2002 Mazda Protege5

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Mazda, which makes an excellant car in general, has a good, well-balanced and fun vehicle in the Protege5. Can't wait to really wind it out this summer!
Review: The 2002 Mazda Protege5 is an impressive little hatchback, geared towards the 20-something audience. At the outset, it comes fairly well loaded with sunroof, CD player, 16" tires, chrome trim, power locks, windows, and other features for a very...

Peppy, comfortable, good handling

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: The only reason not to buy one of these is that you'll have that silly "zoom zoom zoom" song stuck in your head all the time.
Review: I just bought a used 2001 Mazda Protege LX 2.0 with a sunroof, spoiler, CD player and alloy wheels. It's a pretty sweet little car.

I did have one problem though; about two weeks after I bought it the car overheated and I ended up having...

Much better than I thought

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Like to drive? Need a cheap car? Dont like cheap cars? Get a Protege.
Review: The comments I am making below are in reference to the Mazda Protege ES. Some, but not all apply to the LX 2.0. They do not apply to the 2001 DX which is a stripper and not what I was looking for. In essence, I was looking for a commuter so it...

Will never buy a Mazda again

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2004
Review: I started out LOVING my Protege. I thought it was wonderful- it handled so well, gas mileage was great. It was a super fun little car. Now that it is nearing 36 months old, I am having another opinion. At only 32000 miles, the tires need replacing...

Great Economical Car

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2004
Review: I bought this car new, a 2001 ES and it has some zing to it. I got it with a 5 speed manual. Handling has been really nice, as it hugs the road unlike any other sedan I have been in. Brakes are top notch with 4 wheel power assist, you feel as though...
