I would be happy for the Mazdaspeed Protege/323 Protege SP20 to return to the franchise. Even though you can have fun in high-performance cars, you also can enjoy throwing around a car like this. It’s an understated performance car, yet it looks like an everyday sedan from the late nineties. If you wanted to talk about the hatchback, the Protege5 or 323 Astina SP20, that applies the same concept. But while I do prefer the hatchback over the sedan, both cars could be much welcomed by the community.
Aside from the body style, everything is the same between the sedan and hatchback. Both share the same two-litre inline-four and put out the same amount of power. But unlike the Mazdaspeed Protege and Protege5, both 323 models have black trim along the doors and “SP20” stickers on the sides and boot lid.
Notes and comparisons aside, I would prefer the 323 Astina SP20 - more importantly, a Series 2 from 2002 or 2003. As a decision, this mainly comes down to the taillights - they don’t look as dull compared to the Series 1 and Protege.
