Every couple of years, one of the automakers designs a new compact car to test the strength of car buyers' brand loyalty. This year, it's the Protege's turn to play the seducer's role.For years, the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla have been the kingpins of the economy car market, and with good reason: They offer a high-quality, reliable, durable product. But even before it was redesigned, the ProtTgT represented a high-quality car that could compete with the Civic and Corolla. ProtTgT comes with a 50,000-mile warranty, compared to the 36,000-mile coverage offered by most carmakers. Now, with all of its improvements--from interior space to ride quality to quietude to handling--the ProtTgT has earned the right to be dubbed one of the best in its class.
