The Protege ES is the best looking small car.
The best features are great handling and great brakes.
One problem with the Protege is that it needs ten to fifteen more horsepower, although it has good midrange power.
The other thing that could be considered a problem, but one which I don't mind, is that the ride is a bit too taut.
If you want a comfortable, cheap luxury car buy a Corolla. If you want a cheap performance sedan, buy a Protege.

You're exactly right...it's a 4-door Miata. I keep thinking about getting rid of my '02 ES for something "nicer," but somehow I still have it. and I still love it.
