Used 2003 Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege Consumer Reviews
Great Drivers Car
Owned my MPS for roughly three weeks, and it is an absolute blast to drive. It is quicker than most cars excluding SRT-4, WRX, EVO, etc. but it has handled every corner I have thrown at it with ease so far. No sliding, schreeching, or unpredicted behavior. This is a car for the person who wants to go fast everywhere, not just light to light. I would recommend the SRT-4 if you just want 0-60 at the same price.
THE $20000 BEAST
I BOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR IN DECEMBER AND LET ME TELL YOU IT IS THE BEST CAR ALL AROUND THAT I HAVE BOUGHT. PAYING IT MONTHLY IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PAYMENTS ARE LOW AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING SOMETHING AS WORTHY AS THIS. IF YOU LIKE THE HEART OF A SPORTS CAR WITH TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL GET THIS. BY POTENTIAL I MEAN THIS, THIS CAR HAS 170HP IT WAS TESTED TO DO 15.3 WITH THE SAME TURBO AS AN ECLIPSE. NOW THE ECLIPSE DOES 15.2 YET IT HAS 220HP AND IS BOOSTING 12-14 STOCK, THE SPEED IS ONLY BOOSTING 6LBS.
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.
