2001 Mazda Protege LX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
My 2001 Mazda Protege has been my main car since it was new; it recently passed the 100K miles mark and is still going strong. The ABS is vital for winter driving. Never been in a serious accident. Still has good pick-up and responsiveness. Hard to imagine getting a better value for a car than this. Major repairs so far: Transmission got replaced about five years in. Front brakes replaced last year. It definitely needs new struts and perhaps shocks at this point; the handling has deteriorated some. Minor issues: Digital clock stopped working immediately. Rust around the wheel wells starting about 3 years ago. The hubcaps won't stay on at all anymore.
Very responsive and easy to handle. ABS and cruise control come in handy. There's plenty of leg room for tall people in front (my spouse and I are both about 6'). The windows in the back go all the way down, which kids and dogs both appreciate. Compared to other cars on the road, this one looks very basic and no-frills. I happen to like that.
Road noise -- Got to turn the radio way up when on the highway. It's finally starting to get to me. Lack of road noise is the first thing I notice now in newer cars.
2001 Mazda Protege LX 2.0 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
My dad bought a gold '01 Protege brand new when I was a kid. It was never driven much, mainly used as a backup car. When I got my licence it was my ride to high school and in general as I hated driving my mother's van. I drove it for a year before my dad traded it for a 2012 Honda CR-V. It did its job fine, got me to school and back without fuss, was fun to drive with the 5-speed and great on gas. The only problem I had was the alternator crapping out in the middle of the freeway and I had to have it towed. Apart from that it was pretty reliable. I'd recommend it, just watch out for rust problems and keep it to a meticulous maintenance schedule. Also not the best car to learn stick on.
On a good day the ride was actually pretty good despite the stick shift. It was pretty fast with the 2.0 and handled great. It was a good commuter car for a high school student. It was also quite roomy, I'm 6'4 and fit just fine and it had room for 3 friends in the back and wasn't too bad on an hour long road trip. No major problems except the alternator, nothing about the rods, struts or anything like a lot of reviews I've read. It's a fine first car as long as you take care of it
Not the best car to learn stick on. The clutch is touchy and the car itself didn't take too kindly to me at first. I learned in driver's ed and we got along better. Watch the original parts as the alternator that died hadn't been changed. Also watch out for rust. Proteges have been notorious for rust problems and ours was no exception, that's partly why we got rid of it. The ride was pretty bumpy at times, when my dad got the CR-V all my friends said they didn't miss the Mazda and TBH, I didn't either. I guess I just have higher standards with cars.
2001 Mazda Protege ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I have zero regrets about keeping this car for 130K. I have had to put new struts on it to rejuvenate the ride but it was worth the expense. If you are looking for one, I suggest trying to find an ES because it has ABS and side airbags. The ABS saved me from a collision once for sure. If I am going to drive around in a little car I need a few modern safety features. The ES does require more expensive tires but Kumho makes a tire that fits the ES rim that has been a decent tire me. Unfortunately, this car is not good in snow with the factory rims/ tires. I bought snow tires on steel rims to put on in winter when the car was in Wisconsin.
Steering and handling are excellent for an inexpensive car. Great seats with lots of adjustablitiy.
The 5th gear is to small as it revs rather high at 70 MPH. If you need to drive really fast for long trips like in the western states you may not like this car as much as I do. Unfortunately, this car is not good in snow with the factory rims/ tires. I bought snow tires on steel rims when I had the car in Wisconsin for 4 years.
2001 Mazda Protege LX 2.0 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Good quick car to get around the city and beat other cars to a parking spot. handles good and can take tight turns that you couldnt do with most vehicles. For a 4 cylinder this car can move when you need it to. Most 4 cylinders dont have the best highway driving but this car accelerates good at higher speeds and passes with ease. I dont recommend it though if you will only be using it for highway driving because the ride is a little bumpy. I dont really care much for the mpg because for a car this size you expect it to have better gas. When i bought this car i was a little skepticle but it turned out to do what i needed it to do and i gave i just sold it in good condition with 173000 miles.
Quick, peppy, reliable, easy to park, cheap
better gas, not very comfortible ride
2001 Mazda Protege DX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
Of all the purchasing decisions I have made in my life, choosing the 2001 Protege 5-speed DX has probably been my single best decision. I bought it used with 64k miles; it looks and runs the same after 96k miles. Replaced brakes, shocks and battery when I bought it, timing belt and other belts just now. Nothing else. My two longevity tips: use synthetic oil and hand-wax it. The only issues: The famous digital clock problem expanded to the entire radio, which now fails to operate. More road noise than I'd prefer on the highway. First signs of rust showing near the wheel wells, probably from winter salt.
Superior driver legroom for a small car.
Eliminate window air noise at highway speeds.
2001 Mazda Protege ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I've loved this car for the past 9 years that I have owned it. The tires have been the greatest disappointment...expensive to replace when I had to replace them after the first 30,000 miles. (Dunlop has a set that fits and lasts much longer...however still at $120.00/piece) Zoom zoom zoom is very true..I love this car during the summer here in WI..it grips the roads and I can fly! In the winter I need to change modes and respect what the season brings. I love the 60/40 back seat split as I take my xc skis and boating gear with me often. Overall, I'm going to miss my Mazda and hope my "new" Subaru treats me 1/2 as good. (needed room for more gear and a puppy)
Grips the road during the summer, plenty of trunk space and love the 60/40 back seat split
-cheaper tires or rims which would give the owner an option for cheaper tires -check the wheel wells...mine filled up with H20 and ae rusting out -plastic headlights that don't discolor
2001 Mazda Protege ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I have always loved the Protege. This one has over 165k and is still going strong. Makes me say "zoom zoom" every time I go around a corner fast. Never had a problem with it, it has never been in the shop for anything other than routine care. Everything still works great. No electrical problems at all. Someone just hit it, how do I part with the best car ever?
I love the quickness of the car. I have a 5 speed.
They should have thrown in tinted windows.
2001 Mazda Protege ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I have owned plenty of cars over the years and know good fit and finish when I see it. This Protege' is top notch. The five speed transmission is as crisp as any Miata. Fuel economy is in the low 30s. If you are in the market for a reliable, good looking economical sedan this may be your car. I like it so much I'm now looking for a pristine 03' Protege' 5.
Interior design, fit and finish, performance, fuel economy.
Wish it had leather seats, but the upgraded cloth is still ok.
2001 Mazda Protege LX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
Overall my Mazda performs well, but body rust is a BIG problem. I only have 100,000 KM on it but it started to rust the 3rd year I had it. I had a special rust coating applied at the time of purchase but the dealership will not honor it until there are holes in the body. For that reason I will not buy another Mazda.
2001 Mazda Protege LX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
I love this car. I bought it used with 48,000 mi. Now it has 115,100 mi. It is so great on gas and now with gas prices being almost $4.00 I am not feeling as much pain as others. I've had minor problems, unexpected issues but other than that I am satisfied with it. I've added a couple of different things to it like, a spoiler, euro carbon fiber tail lights, wind visors, tinted windows etc. I also replaced the radio because the factory radio was messing up on me big time. You would press clock and it would show the CD track # and vice versa. So I replaced it. Just recently got a new paint job and it looks even better!
Gas mileage, reliable, cool and the moonroof. It's also a good looking car, especially in silver.
More room. My husband is 6'5" and we have to take breaks on long trips because there isn't enough room for his legs to stretch. Better radio, factory was good for a while but not that long. Better cupholders. A large cup tips over because of the way the display is built.

Recent Playa Langosta reviews
"Traveled with a group of 4 around Guanacaste/Nicoya penisula and this was BY FAR our favorite spot. Michael and Daryl were always an email away when we had any questions, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Danny and his son (caretakers at casa las nubes) are also there to make your stay even more enjoyable. On our first night, we wanted to grill dinner at the house. In no time at all, Danny had the "parilla" fired up and we were grilling chicken/pork/vegetable kebabs as the sun set over the countryside. The pictures are amazing, but when you arrive... You realize that they don't do it justice. Absolutely BREATHTAKING VIEWS! If you are headed to this general area, I would highly advise staying here. Samara beach was a quick 25 minute drive>>> however, our favorite beach "playa carillo" is just beyond that. Will return in the future!"
"I just returned from a wonderful vacation at Casablanca in Langosta. This condo is perfect. The kitchen is nice and open to the dining and living areas. There are 2 nice bedrooms downstairs and a great loft bedroom upstairs with a half bath. The pool is beautiful. We saw 2 giant green parrots, monkeys and iguanas! The location is perfect. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo but still close enough to walk to restaurants and bars. And of course you are right across the beach from the beach! Suzanne is a great tour guide also. I would highly recommend this villa!"
"We recently returned from our stay at Naxos in Playa Langosta. The condo had everything we needed and the views were spectacular. The condo itself was very nicely decorated, the beds were comfortable and we always felt very safe in the gated condo. The pool area is gorgeous and most of the time we had the entire area to ourselves. We used the BBQ on many occasions and it worked wonderfully. This condo is a very short walk to the beach or if you take another 5 minutes past Barcelo Langosta there is a really beautiful sandy beach where you can spend the day watching the surfers and swim. We never walked to town as we had my father with us who had bad knees but it would not have been difficult along the beach at all. It's just a $5 taxi ride to Tamarindo and taxis are everywhere so we never had any problems getting a taxi when we needed it. I corresponded with Donna many times prior to our arrival and she was always very helpful and informative. If you're looking for a place that is clean, comfortable, safe and relaxing look no further."
"Our original reservation was cancelled and was replace by this beautifull house. Me and my 3 friends really appreciate our stay at this house. We enjoyed a lot the pool and the full kitchen. The house is big enough for everybody. The kitchen is great. We cooked a lot of meal and enjoyed them on the rooftop terrassse. The only negetive this was that we have a lot of trouble with the washing machine and the toilet of the powder room wasn't flushing."
