1999 Mazda Protege
Total make-over is done for 1999 Mazda Protege. The interiors offer spacious
cargo suitable for all kinds of passengers. The seats provide comfort and support
with adjustable folding seats to maximize interior space.
Better driving dynamics is provided by improvements in the car's chassis. Bending
strength is increased to 22% with tortional rigidity of 12%. "Triple H" construction
paves way for ensured crash protection by adding side-impact reinforcements.
The 1.6-liter engine of LX model and 1.8-liter engine of ES provide better handling
and steering as well as improved acceleration. Absence of disturbing road and
engine noise is one of its advantages over the others. Responsive rack and pinion
steering system and four-wheel independent suspension system as well provide smooth
and firm rides. However the plastic molded dash is not softly padded and cause
uneasiness when used.
