Thinking of buying the 2000 Mazda Protege?
No 2000 Mazda Protege is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2000 Mazda Protege for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Protege
Owners filed 102 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and service brakes; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
It runs the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 8.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.49 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Living with the Protege
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Protege first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Protege for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
