Thinking of buying the Mazda Protege?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the Mazda Protege; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Thinking about the Mazda Protege? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Protege
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
What the Protege is like
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent the Protege for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Protege first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Protege for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
Compare the years of the Protege: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. The years table on this page shows where the Protege changed.

Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Mazda Protege from us first.
Ask us about the Mazda Protege
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Mazda Protege for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Mazda Protege
Does CarmaCars sell the Mazda Protege?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Mazda Protege before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
