Used Mazda Protege for Sale

The Mazda Protege 2000 that I own was made in Japan, but with consumer in mind. I have owned vehicles that are so difficult to work on with absolutely no room under the hood. This Mazda is good on gas 34 highway/ 29 city with a 1.6 cylinder engine with only 2 spark plugs; the smallest engine I've owned. It's a standard with over 250,000+ miles and still going strong. I love the car and love driving it.

Considering how old it is and how many miles it has (212,000), the thing runs great. Paint still looks good. I haven't had many major problems except an oil leak since I got the car. It's a small car, but I'm 6'1", and I don't feel cramped. The trunk is surprisingly roomy for the size of the car. The gas mileage is great, and the small wheels make buying tires nice and cheap. There have been no issues with the stereo and the interior has held up very well for a 20-year-old car.

Very reliable. Repairs are consistent with that of any car it's age. All is normal wear and tear items. The engine compartment is super spacious and allow easy accessibility to do any necessary repairs. The trunk is huge and I can easily fit $500 worth of food in there. My husband uses it for work and we bought it 7 years ago. It is only now showing signs of needing an engine replacement. He is sitting at 299,678 miles. Even thou it is not a 4x4 or all wheel drive, she handles outstanding in the snow and ice with just snow tires.
