Used 2003 Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege Consumer Reviews
Good
Very good car. umm this is not 15 words long. but now it really is.
5 years and still going strong
I bought the car brand new, only had 12 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. 45000 miles later and a trip to germany and I still love this car. The turbo gives the car some great get-up-and-go when you floor it. I have had to do little to no maintenance on it. I love the interior and the short shift. The handling, well there aren't too many vehicles that handle as well as this car. Have just recently put on a new body kit, upgraded the exhaust, and threw some 18s on it to give it a meaner look. Overall great car and extremely fun to drive. Tops out at 137 mph. Also love it when someone asks if it's a lancer and the look on their face when I say "it's a mazdaspeed protege."
Not a BMW, but is that a bad thing?
This car is everything I wanted. Turbo, 17" wheels, tight suspension, 450 watt mp3 stereo, and oh ya the chicks dig it! Very reasonable price sold me on this car, compared to WRX and TSX I chose this one because of price, fun factor, reliability, and to get away from mainstream cars seen everyday on the roads. Bang for buck is huge, especially compared to european cars. Have not had any problems.
BEST CAR EVER
JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. I LOVE IT. SPORTY STLYISH AND ALSO GENUINE!! IT WAS BETWEEN THE MAZDA 6 AND THE SPEED. I WANTED TO BE THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS CAR IN THE AREA. AND I AM. ONLY 650 IN THE USA AND PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR THEM. THIS WAS THE ONLY ON AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I GOT IT. BEST CAR EVER. FAST AND FUN. GET ONE BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!
Turning Heads
I just purchased the titanium gray Mazdaspeed Protege and I am in love. It turns heads and no one seems to know what it is (The yellow is just too over- the-top looking). I'm new to a 5-speed and this clutch and transmission are treating my virgin left foot wonderfully. The sounds system is amazing! If you want a sporty but roomy car that'll have everyone looking...buy this!!! Don't be one of the gazillion Civic owners.
