2003 Mazda Protege Protege5 review from North America
"The Protege5 has been a very good, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems in over four years of ownership.
General comments?
The Protege5 has been a very good, reliable car. One reason I choose it over others is the space in the rear. I can fold the seats down and load it up. Including my mountain bike. My only real complaint would be the seats. They're a little flimsy and not comfortable for long rides. I've had regular oil changes and the recommended service done on it. It's about time for new tires and I just had new brake pads installed a few months ago. I'll look at Mazdas the next time I'm shopping for a new car.
