I was at the dealer too look into purchasing a PT Cruiser. The maroon Protege was sitting on the showroom floor with a spoiler and regular wheels (not aluminum). It was a left over with all options except the wheels,sunroof and automatic. I drove the car and bought it as it handled fantatastically and had much more zip than a PT Crusier. My wife and I both love a manual trans. The gas mileage is around 28.7 in combined driving. The 130 HP four could use maybe 10-15 more horses as you have too wind it up to keep up with traffic from a light.
Great to feel young again.

I love the car. Test drove alot of cars before buying this one. Have the 2002 LX 5 speed. Was driving a Jeep SUV and switched to the mazda and now I feel like I'm in High School again. Took a 5 hour drive down the coast line for a week end trip and had blast. My wife said if she new it would shave 20 years off my life she would have got me one a long time ago.

This has got to be the coolest eco-sedan I have ever driven. It's a very nimble little car and with being a bit smaller than other eco sedans, the 130hp engine goes a bit farther on get up and go. This car comes with a sporty grip steering wheel which I believe is a 13" (a little smaller than most others). Makes for a very fun drive and ALL curvy roads are a pleasure to drive. The construction is very solid, and the interior has no annoyances or cheap interfaces. Sure, it's no drag racer, but since when do we all drive on open straight roads 100% of the time? Agility over brute strength.

So far so good. Protege has been a pleasure to drive and is beautifully appointed within. Engine is relatively peppy (hey, it's a four cylinder). Handling is crisp and responsive.
Great car!

Have put 2000 miles on it the first month I've had it - fun to drive and great highway gas mileage. And to think I almost bought a Neon - so glad I didn't.
