The same step, different year
I originally had the old 1992 hatchback 323. When it finally rusted out after LOTS of driving and winters, I decided to look for a new car.
I bought my protege used, for a reasonable price and now I'm very happy I do have it.
It gets good mileage and isn't a bank buster to fill...

Visually pleasing, but has some mechanical flaws
I owned the 1999 Mazda Protege LX. I bought it used in 2000 at 26,000 miles. It was a good car for the price. It was sporty looking yet suitable for commuting and every day use. The interior was nice and the sound system surprisingly good for factory. The glove compartment was spacious, and the... Read full review »
Our New Car. Protege ES
My wife and I wanted to purchase a new car but we were unsure about which one to get. We are the anti-SUV type and we like to have a car that has good gas mileage and is foreign built by the Japanese. In our opinion, American cars are poorly built. We did some research and discovered that Consumer... Read full review »
reliable and comfortable
I'm at nearly 60,000 miles and only had to get a part tightened because it was rattling and had a sensor go bad causing the check engine light to be on constantly (mechanic said it could be one of two sensors and each cost a lot to replace). Gets great gas mileage compared with the '88 Grand Am it... Read full review »
A Midwesterner's Dream, but BEWARE OF HILLS!!!
I never bought the '99 Protege. I sort of came into it through my girlfriend/now wife, who purchased it used in the winter of 2000. It had relatively low miles, and was in good condition. My wife drives it to work, and I drive my Schwinn Moab. We have also taken it on a many trips, the longest... Read full review »
best car I ever had
Great little cars. Had mine since brand new. Regular oil changes, change the air-filter once a year and drive it. I just changed the spark plugs at 50,000 kilometers. First car I've bought I did not have to take back to the dealer for warranty. Very tight, no rattles, and very little noise inside... Read full review »
Fun, Roomy and a Great Looker
I bought my 1999 Protege in January 2001. It had been used for 18 months and had 14600 miles.
My appreciation for the car is as follows:
Exterior Design: After owning my Protege for over 2 years and seeing the same model at almost each street corner, I still think that the car...

Excellent little car
I have owned this car for 4 years now and I must say that it has far exceeded all my expectations.
I bought it in May of 1999. I was ready to retire my trusty 1987 Toyota Camry which had 200,000 plus miles on it. The 1999 Camry was out of my price range as most cars in that class were(ie...

My Little Japanese BMW!
Since early 1999 and nearly 60,000 KM later, my Mazda Protege has always been a loyal road companion. It has never failed, never complained and has always been a joy to ride. It is roomy, responsive, high quality and solid.
The cockpit is laid out ergonomically and is not complicated. The body...

Shorter Life Than Expected
We bought our 1999 Mazda Protege new. It was my husband's and my first new car and our first married purchase. Overall, we have been very happy with it, but now that it is aging, we're questioning whether we should move on to a different vehicle.
The air condition has never cooled very...

My baby
I recently bought a 1999 red Mazda Protege LX. Although it is used it it handles like a dream. You have plenty of room to seat 5 people comfortably. The sound system in the Protege is great. The LX I have is fully loaded and everything on it works like a dream. The car has excellent acceleration... Read full review »
Excellent Overall!
I bought a 99 Protege ES about three years ago, to replace my old 1988 Ford Escort. I found it very reliable, responsive, with about 24 miles/gal overall. I also traveled with it once or twice with no problem at all. Leg room is good in the front, but a little bit tight in the back seats, and the... Read full review »
Our First Car
My wife and I are both university students who were in desperate need of a relatively inexpensive, reliable automobile. We shopped around but we kept hearing the same thing - The Mazda Protege could not be beat if cost, reliability and fuel economy were our primary concerns. So, we went ahead and... Read full review »
Fast economy car for a little budget! Zoom Zoom Zoom!
I bought a '92 Protege used in '95. I traded it in a few years ago for ... yes... another Protege! The '92 had over 140,000 miles on it and it was still purring like a kitten so I knew that another Protege would last me.
I checked out a few other cars. The Nissan Sentra was really nice...

'99 Protege ES
Update: I sold my Protege after a little more than 3 years of happy ownership. I was really tired of shifting and wanted an automatic transmission to make my life easier while stuck in traffic. I miss my Protege, but also remember some of the rattles that were never "found" by the dealer's service... Read full review »
Runabout is fair play.
The way I see it, the best examples of a car company's engineering can be found in its baseline models, the bottom of the bottom. Unfettered by extra performance features and luxury gewgaws, a base econobox must provide a compromise, offering a minimum of "essential" amenities and capabilities at a... Read full review »
Buy this car!
In September 1999, I decided to purchase a 1999 Mazda Protege primarily because of the great deal I was getting on the leftover models.
I was replacing a 1992 Saturn which I was always satisfied with by wanted something a little less inexpensive yet just as reliable.
Every member of my...

Fall in Love With a Protege.
Last August, my girlfriend and I rented a 1999 Mazda Protege SE to go to Sudbury which was 7 hours away. I immediately fell in love with it, when I saw it.
We were supposed to rent a Toyota Echo, but it wasn't available that day, so they let us use the Protege at the same cost as the Toyota...
