The Mazda Protegé, in its second generation, was a popular compact car produced by the Japanese automaker from 1999 to 2003. It was available in both sedan and hatchback configurations, with the latter designated as the Protegé5. This generation was known for its stylish design, offering a contemporary and sporty aesthetic. The Protegé's compact dimensions and fuel-efficient engines made it a popular choice for city driving and commuting. Under the hood, it featured a range of four-cylinder engines, including the 1.6L and 1.8L options, all known for their reliability and performance. The Protegé also offered a range of trim levels, from the base model to the more luxurious "ES" variant, catering to different customer needs and preferences.

The suspension was tuned for comfort, with a focus on a smooth ride. The interior, designed with practicality in mind, featured a user-friendly layout and comfortable seating. Although not as sporty as its predecessor, the Protegé remained a competent and enjoyable car to drive, offering a good balance of performance and practicality. The Protegé, particularly the Protegé5, gained popularity among younger drivers and families, thanks to its versatility, affordability, and fuel efficiency. Its appeal extended beyond its functional aspects, with its stylish design and contemporary features making it a trendy choice for the early 2000s.
