2004 Mazda3 GT Road Test

Mazda's Protegé has become popular with import tuners, a sure sign of its athletic attitude. OK, so its engine range came up a little shy before the MazdaSpeed version hit the street, but even base cars took to the corners with gusto. Nevertheless, as much as I've enjoyed it over the years both in sedan and sporty 5 trim, it's long gone now.
