While much of the compact sedan segment of the market offers up the "same old, same old" styling and amenities, the 2000 Mazda Proteg sedan breaks away from the herd with its crisp, Europeaninspired styling, responsive handling and advanced "Triple-H" construction. The first thing buyers of the Mazda Proteg will appreciate is the creased, European-inspired styling - it gives the car a custom-tailored look that is unexpected in the normally "off-the-shelf" compact sedan class. The Proteg looks as if it belongs in a more expensive class - from its jewel-like free-surface reflectors and chrome-accented grille all the way to the body-coloured bumpers.
Roadside Assistance
Included among the standard features of the 2000 Proteg, and all other Mazda vehicles as well, is a three year roadside assistance program. Proteg customers can feel secure knowing that wherever they travel throughout North America should the need arise they can obtain towing, winching, battery boosting, emergency fuel delivery, tire changing services. They will even get help if locked out of the vehicle. In addition, a travel planning service encompassing route planning, travel tips, driving information and points of interest are part of Mazda's roadside assistance program. The program even includes emergency travel expense reimbursement in certain situations.
Warranty
The 2000 Mazda Proteg is covered by a 3 year or 80,000 km vehicle warranty that covers every part on the vehicle except those subject to normal wear. Additional warranties cover powertrain and safety restraint components for a period of 5 years or 100,000 km, body sheet metal perforation for 5 years with unlimited kilometrage and selected emission control components for a period of 8 years or 128,000 km.
