What Edmunds Says

When it comes to small, snappy sedans, the Protege is a tough act to beat.

Pros

Tight suspension, powerful brakes, superb steering feel, comfortable seats, attractive exterior styling.

Cons

Suspension may be too stiff for some buyers, mediocre horsepower output given the handling capabilities of the car.

What's New for 2003

Minor changes limited to feature content are in store for Mazda's economy sedan. The DX trim gets a CD player as standard equipment, while air conditioning is offered as a stand-alone option. The LX trim receives 15-inch wheels as standard. Last year's premium packages for the LX and ES have been discontinued, but you can still get the sunroof, side airbags and antilock brakes as options.
