The new 2008 Mazda Protege features include an optional power moonroof, rear spoiler, front fog lights, and 16 inch alloy wheels with low-profile 195/50R16 V rated all season tires. On the inside, the Protege comes standard with a 60/40 split fold rear seat, standard single disc CD player, power windows, power locks, flip up visor mirrors, and ample trunk space. The Protege even features remote keyless entry with illuminated entry, for those nights when it's a little too dark to head to the car by yourself. With features like these, the Mazda Protege simply makes sense.
the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine delivers 130 hp and 135 lb ft of torque. It helps give the Protege very responsive acceleration and all around satisfying performance, and meets strict ULEV standards. All Protege models also have the same front and rear suspension.
The TTL rear suspension is a patented Mazda design that subtly steers the rear wheels to help ensure they maintain maximum road contact. A finely tuned suspension can make the difference in your driving experience. .

2008 Mazda Protege review
When driving your new 2008 Mazda Protege in snow and you get stuck, straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly. Avoid spinning your tires, because the heat friction caused by spinning tires will melt the snow and creates a thin layer of ice. Use sand under the drive wheels to increase traction if you get a little stuck. Never stand in traffic to push a car that's stuck. Someone else could loose control and seriously cause injury.
