Used 2003 Mazda Protege Consumer Reviews
Excellent car for the money
Went from a ford escort to the protege lx. Car has good pickup on the highway. Great mileage and the 6 cd changer and sunroof makes it fun to drive, Since I commute everyday good car to drive.
I Love My Mazda
Mazda is a great car to have and drive i have had 2 mazda protege's and would tell anyone that they are easy to take car of and all around a very nice car
A sport car in sheep clothing
I've test-driven Toyota Matrix base, 2002 Honda Civic LX and Mazda LX (all auto as gf wanted) before my final purchase of this Protege LX. Base Matrix was $16,000 plus, Civic LX was $15,000 plus, Mazda LX was $14,880 b/f tax to me with alloy wheels. Man, price was the prime deciding factor at first. Then, after test drives, I found that the Matrix's 130 horses was not enough to move the 2800-plus lbs of the auto, Honda - Na! No torgue! Protege won with 135 torgue and 130 hp for its 2700 lbs for the auto. Man, the road-holding is great! Fun-to-drive little car!
Great little car
Great car, comfortable and affordable too. I would definitely reccommend this vechile.

Bought my protege with the year end incentives. Could'nt resist the Zero percent financing. Drove the Civic, Focus, Corolla...but they were not as fun to drive. The Mazda doesn't get as good of gas mileage... but it's way fun to drive.
