2001 Mazda Protege LX 2.0Review

Nothing Can Beat The Mazdarati, Lol — Accelerates well. Gets about 27 mpg. Handles quite well... hugs curbs. I haven't need to do many repairs on this car. Fairly inexpensive to maintain. I love driving everywhere we go. It is a nice car, but wish I would have bought the MP3 version. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Easy to park, fun to drive Cons: NONE |

My Protege — Above average exterior and interior styling Decent performance No major repairs, except for a window pane that did not roll back up, and a fuse in the AC system that blew. Gas mileage so-so, does not match EPA Definitely a fun car to drive! Cost of ownership is cheap. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: reliable Cons: not that many convenience options |

01 Protege, Work-car — Fantastic work car. Gets good mileage with a low-geared transmission (designed for the smaller engines available). All the basic extras, handles well for a FWD, alloy wheels, etc. My first car with a sun roof, although its a small sunroof. The factory CD player has issues with skipping, but that's really my largest complaint. Pros: Good mileage, all the extras, very dependable Cons: CD player skips |

Mp3 — Unique, Only 1000 others like it. Not the quickest but it handles pretty well. Its overall a fun car to own. It hasn't been the worst to maintain. Its great in the snow. My bridgestone blizzaks are the best. I have owned it for four years now and can't complain too much. Pros: Unique Cons: Not the quickest |

My 01 Protege — Well.. I love the car for that fact that its so reliable.. I've rarely had a problem with it and when I did it was something simple.. Like the seatbelts get stuck in the back all the time. Other than that its aq wonderful car.. Small.. Great on fuel.. The only thing I dislike would be the fact that its totally a mom-mobile. Not your average car for teens. But oh well. The pros outweigh the cons in this one. |

Not Exactly The Best — This was an alright car at best. Performance. Braking: good good response Handling: very good, turns like it's on a track Acceleration: good, beats most 4 bangers I've seen out there Build quality: bad, as you can see from the picture above, this was a 20 mph crash and the radiator/intake had completely been destroyed Thank god Mazda doesn't make these anymore
Pros:
Handling
Cons:
Poor build quality felt cheap |

Excellent To Drive. Lacks Hp & Accelleration — This car is tuned by racingbeat with an aftermarket suspension. Stock with 17's and 7-speaker system. Runs off a 2.0l 4cyl engine with advanced timing to put out only 140 hp which is probably its biggest shortcoming. Other than that it handles like a dream and is fun to drive. Pros: Look, suspension, sound Cons: speed/hp |

Did Lots Of Research-very Pleased! — I bought this car brand new in Feb. 2001-now has a whopping 23,000 miles on it. The 130 hp. engine is very strong. It corners on a dime and gives you a nickle back. I've put Toyo tires (low profile) on it to maximixe handling. This car was built in Hiroshima, Japan. Will probably keep for the rest of my life. Owner for 7 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:2,300 Pros: Handling, sporty-feel (and it didn't cost $50000 plus. Cons: Wish gas mileage was a little better, however i'm no light foot on the pedal. |
