| | 1995 Mazda Protege (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | With the redesign of Protege, a compact-class 4-door sedan with seating for five, Mazda's design team attempts to carve out maximum space for people, pile on comfort features usually carried by more expensive models, then provide perky acceleration in a fun-to-drive format but also bring home the fuel economy figures of an econo-miser commuter car. |
 | | As cute as it may be, don't judge Protege by the slant of its prow or the curt cut of its tail. |
 | | Reinforced steel side door beams and steel side pillars also work to shield riders, as do Mazda's dual airbags, 3-point belt systems, even such handling improvements as the car's chassis that now measures almost twice as stiff in bending as the previous Protege and one and a half times more rigid in torsional movement. |
