Used Mazda Protege5 for Sale

I cannot express how much I loved my Protege5. It was dark blue metallic, gray interior, a manual with polished wheels. There were some minor negatives to it, but they were easily overshadowed by the pure driving experience the little Mazda gave. It was like having a Miata wagon, just light and nimble, handled like a go-kart but rode much softer. I made 14 trips in total that were 1500 miles along with normal day to day driving. It never left me stranded, it always got great gas mileage (around 35 mpg), and it was just pure joy to drive. It wasn't the fastest thing out there, but the manual gave it a little more pep than its little 140 hp 4 cylinder would suggest.

I've found the Mazda Protege5 to be a reliable vehicle without too many issues. I had this vehicle since I was a college student and even now, with more than 110,000 miles on its odometer, I feel safe driving it all over the country. The engine runs smoothly, and I haven't had to make any major repairs to it. The seats are comfortable, which is perfect for the long drives I frequently have to make for my job. I got it when it had about 40,000 miles on it, and it's been a great investment. I've only had to replace the windshield once since I've had it, and it can easily go thousands of miles without requiring an oil change. Steering is smooth and efficient as well, and the spare tire that the trunk is equipped with has been a lifesaver as well. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to someone who doesn't want to spend too much money on a used car but needs a comfortable vehicle that won't spend too much time in the shop. I'm hoping I can get another few years out of it (and tens of thousands of miles more) before I have to get it replaced.

The Mazdaspeed Protege5 is a pleasure to drive and a wonderful car to own. The transmission, automatic fuel injection and pickup is remarkably smooth, sensitive, and powerful for a car in its class, rivalling the Subaru WRX or Audi RS4/RS5. Adding an audiophile hi fidelity sound system, tinted windows, auto remote starter and alarm, and interior trimmings such as carbon fiber and dash accouterments heightened the sense of style and substance found in the Protege5, the best car I've ever owned and driven. I seriously liked everything about it and still do. The quality in every part and the sum of the whole perform fabulously.
