| 2008 2009 Mazda Protege5 |
| The 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5 is very good looking. Cool looking, for an un-wagon. Trim cladding, just side sills and air dams. Great-looking 5-spoke, 16-inch alloy wheels, either brushed or polished like chrome. Speedy lines and stance, not boxy. In profile it looks like a short Subaru Legacy GT wagon, but it's prettier at each end. The interior of 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5 is also way cool. It's very neatly done, distinctive and sporty in dark charcoal leather dash and doors, with cloth seats. Both front seats of The 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5 are tweaked in lumbar and lateral support, and the driver's seatback structure uses something called Pluma-flex board, which Mazda says is stiffer at the bottom and more flexible at the top, resulting in a gentler and more accommodating fit, and transmitting less vibration. |

 The 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5 may be small but it doesn't feel cramped in front. Everything falls into place for the driver, with good foot room including a nice dead pedal. Visibility from inside is also very good in 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5. There's no whumping in your ear when just the driver's window is down. There's a small triangular window in the back third of the rear door glass. There's a lot of value in The new 2008 2009 2009 Mazda Protege 5 apart from utility, looks and sporty performance. It embodies the zoom-zoom spirit. It deserves to bring Mazda more name-recognition and engineering-recognition. And as an option to a mini-SUV for a small, sporty family, that compromise between a Miata and a Tribute, it could be a whole lot of fun. |

The 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5 might be described as a cross between the Miata
and the Tribute mini-SUV. 2008 2009 Mazda Protege 5 uses the same 130-horsepower, 2.0-liter, dohc inline four-cylinder engine as the Protege sedan.
It is built on the solid platform of the tight, handsome, arguably prosaic, arguably under-appreciated Protege
compact sedan.
