It's cool all over. The spoiler fits like an eyelid over the slanted rear hatch. There's a standard black roofrack, and the black radio antenna is raked back from the rear center of the car. The center brake light (CHMSL) has 24 small bulbs that definitely catch your attention. Sleek headlights (straight off the 'prosaic' Protege), a moonroof, black diamond mesh grille that hints at a smile. More black mesh in the mouthy airdam below the bumper, with a foglight on each side. The Protege5 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. With a little literary license (or a lot), the Protege5 might be described as a cross between the Miata and the Tribute mini-SUV. Mazda is trying to not call the Protege5 a wagon without defying reality, which takes a bit of marketing and semantic tightrope-walking. So sometimes this exciting car finds itself being called a 'five-door vehicle' by its maker. The car rises above it. The main thing is, it comes in five colors. The Vivid Yellow in the commercial is the call.īase price is $16,335 plus $480 freight. Separate options are: moonroof ($700) ABS and side airbags ($800) four-speed automatic transmission ($800) polished alloy (chrome-look) wheels ($500) security alarm ($220) cassette player ($150) in-dash six-disc CD changer ($500) floormats ($80) cargo net ($35) wheel locks ($30) and moonroof deflector ($40). On the other hand, 4x4 promises to be better at beating all-terrain surfaces.Protege5 is a sport wagon built on the solid platform of the tight, handsome, arguably prosaic, arguably under-appreciated Protege compact sedan (see separate Protege review). Protege5 uses the same 130-horsepower, 2.0-liter, dohc inline four-cylinder engine as the Protege sedan. So maybe it is a better choice if you are intending to drive mainly on excellent streets. It could be enough to state here that AWD usually signifies more versatility in distributing the torque between your rear and front side axles. You can get large shiny symbols 4WD, AWD or 4x4 on the car’s exterior panels. In addition to that, the front-wheel-drive provides better handling.įor off-road automobiles, we must have all-wheel drive. It makes needless the very long and enormous driveshaft that detracts from the inside amount of the automobile and requires extra fuel intake. But, the front-wheel-drive almost fully forced out the old system, at least in passenger cars. It absolutely was technologically much easier to divide the steering system along with the transmission. In the early days and for an incredibly long period afterward, the current vehicle market was covered with conventional chassis, namely the RWD. Here we, supply an information of the 2003 Mazda Protege5 wheel drive systems. Quite simply, it really is about the manner the torque is transported through the 2003 Mazda Protege5 generator to the wheels. It wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to mention the drivetrain system is considered to be the only field for substantial technological inventions and rivalry among makers.
