2002 Mazda Protege Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by mgood85
A member in Pennsylvania, United States
Handling
Corners like a go-cart. Fun 5 speed that shifts smooth. Great braking.
Interior styling
Simple, functional yet good looking. White instrument gauges are also cool.
Fuel economy
30+ mpg highway. 28 city. Not too shabby.
Powertrain performance
4 angry squirrels under the hood. Not overly powerful but adequate.
Depreciation
Seems to hold its value better than the Protege sedan.
Quietness
Wind noise seems a little loud but not excessive.
Audio & nav systems
Low quality sound from speakers.
