My first car 10 years ago was a 91 ford escort gt with the mazda 1.8 bp motor( same as the 90-94 protege and also came in rwd form in miata) after that i fell in love with mazda. Since i have owned a 91 protege 1.8 sohc, 91 miata 1.6, and currently a 03 protege 5. the protege 5 is not the quickest out of those but it is a practical family car and very reliable and handles great. ive lso got my mom hooked on mazda, she had a 99 milenia and now drives a 08 mazda 3. zoom zoom for life!

Let me tell you what I found... you can upgrade to 205/50-16 size tires. You have a much better selection. This size works fine on the the stock alloy 16 " rims. I got some killer BF Goodrich G-Force super-sports from tire rack that are so much better than the dunlops that were on it when I bought it. Yep...I know they were factory issue in 03... I bought this car in October 08 with 27,000 on the clock, so it's almost new. The only problem with owning a P-5, would be the tires.

OMG im in love with it. i bought it back in july and it runs excellent. its got almost 150,000 miles on it. i had no problems with the car. in fact the only problem i had with it is the tires which was an easy fix. i use to have a Ford Thunderbird. that thing was a peice of crap. every paycheck i got, i had to spend it on that car cuz something went wrong in it. so i destroyed it and got my Mazda. i know Mazda is owned by Ford but Ford uses Mazda's engines. like they use a Protege motor in an Escort. but that doesn't make it a mazda.

My mechanic says I am on borrowed time so I have to plan for the day. It's doing fine now, but where will I find another car that is so reliable? Before this car I had a Corolla that went up to 179,000 miles but the windows were always smeary. And I don't want to drive around in a box. Maybe I should fly to South America and drive one north!

My first a 1992 DX (I bought new) had 135,000 and was running strong when it was totaled in an accident. My second was a 94 DX (I bought new), the ex got it in the divorce, it was running strong at 155,000 when it was totaled in an accident. My current car is a 98 Protege LX ( I bought it new 10 years ago) and it is going strong at 133,000. I have never owned any car that was as practical and reliable as my Protege's. Best damn cars I have ever had. I have had 3 Proteges. My first a 1992 DX (I bought new) had 135,000 and was running strong when it was totaled in an accident.
