2003 MAZDASPEED Protege

For 2003, Mazda decided to release a limited-edition version of the Protege, their winning subcompact sedan that has been moving steadily up the consumer rankings the past two years. This limited-edition version, the 2003 MAZDASPEED Protege, is a high-performance model which contains a turbocharged adaptation of the standard Protege's 4-cylinder engine. This special engine allows the MAZDASPEED Protege to achieve a power regular Protege drivers can only wish for. Playing along with the sporty image, Mazda designers have also incorporated unique sport suspension with 17-inch wheels, and trim extras both inside and outside this car. The result? A sedan that provides super value for money.

Available Models
The 2003 MAZDASPEED Protege is a 4-door sedan with features like anti-lock brakes and a limited-slip differential provided as standard. As with the regular Protégés, there are a number of options packages available as well.

Interior Features
The interior features of the 2003 MAZDASPEED Protege are designed to add to its appeal. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD/MP3 player is standard, as is a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The MAZDASPEED Protege also incorporates all the standard features that are a part of the regular edition Protege. These include front bucket seats, power steering, map lights, a split folding rear seat, air conditioning, and cruise control. There is also a height-adjustable driver seat, power locks, doors, and windows, a remote entry system, and a tachometer. Options available to complete the MAZDASPEED's interior include a cargo net. The head room and leg space in this car rival the regular Protege's, as does the accessibility of its rear seat.

Exterior Features
This limited-edition Protege features 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with low-profile Bridgestone tires. Fog lights and a rear spoiler are standard, adding to the MAZDASPEED's sporty appeal.

Performance
The turbocharged version of the standard Protégé's 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine means that the 2003 MAZDASPEED Protege can give out 170 hp at 6000 rpm versus 130 hp for the standard version. The MAZDASPEED also offers 160 lbs-ft of torque at 3500 rpm. Available in 5-speed manual transmission, it offers great fuel economy as well as a solid feel, and enviable cornering ability.

Safety and Security
Safety and security on the 2003 MAZDASPEED Protege go one above the regular Mazda Protege. A theft-deterrent system with alarm is standard, as are anti-lock 4-wheel disc brakes. It also contains dual front airbags.
