The 1998 Mazda Protege is a compact sedan that was part of Mazda's second generation of the Protege model line. Introduced in 1994, the Protege was known for its spirited driving experience, fuel efficiency, and affordable price point, making it a popular choice for budget-minded consumers. The 1998 model year saw some minor updates, including a revised grille, new wheel designs, and the introduction of a more powerful 1.8-liter engine option. The Protege was available in a variety of trims, ranging from the basic DX to the sportier ES and SE models, which featured a more powerful engine, sportier suspension tuning, and additional features like a sunroof and leather seats. The 1998 Protege's success can be attributed to its well-rounded package. Under the hood, the base engine was a 1.6-liter four-cylinder unit, while the optional 1.8-liter engine offered improved performance. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Protege was known for its nimble handling and comfortable ride, thanks to its front-wheel drive layout and independent suspension. Inside, the Protege offered a spacious and well-appointed cabin, with comfortable seats and adequate cargo space. The Protege also featured a number of standard safety features, including front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and a driver's side airbag. While the Protege might not have been the most technologically advanced car on the market, its practicality, affordability, and driving experience made it a compelling option for those looking for a reliable and fun-to-drive compact sedan.
