The Protege in everyday use
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Who the Protege suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Protege answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
