What kind of engine does a Mazda Protege 5 have?
The new-for-2001 ULEV 2.0-liter engine, standard on Protegé5 wagon and ES sedan models, is a stroked version of the previous 1.8 and adds 8 horsepower and 15 pound-feet to the Protegé ES’s comparo-winning formula (C/D, June 2000), for a total of 130 horsepower and 135 pound-feet.
What’s the average speed of a Mazda Protege?
At 183 feet from 70 mph to standstill, the Mazdaspeed Protegé came in just a foot shorter than the MP3. We weren’t disappointed in the turbo Protegé’s hustle, however. It sprints to 60 in 6.9 seconds, covers the quarter-mile in 15.4 seconds at 91 mph, and hits 100 in 19.4 seconds.
What was the setting for the Mazda proteg?
The setting was last month’s Supertuner Challenge. The mini-Mazda was on hand as an errand boy and was being used as a shuttle en route to the next driver change during the road drive. But as we took off, we noticed there was no map in the Protegé5 — so we had to keep up with the car ahead.
