Mazda 323 Protege GLX (Singapore) and Mazda Protege ES/DX (United States)
Mazda Familia (Japan)

all same damn car with minor differences in features, engine size and bumper styles.

The US model has 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.0 turbo models.

Japan have the 1.5 and then the Sport 20 hatchback with the 2.0 and the less sportier one with 1.5

Singapore is 1.6

The Singapore model I know has 1 airbag, leather seats, fog lights, spoiler, flair kit, 14" alloy rims, leather seats, kenwood cd player with disc changer in trunk, door visors, front and rear mud guards and usual power features with 1.6 dohc 16v engine. Not all Singapore models have flair kits with rear spoiler. Some have ABS brakes.

The Japanese model is a 1.5 dohc 16v engine with dual airbags, abs with ebd brakes, fabric seats, 13/14" steel rims with hub caps and usual power features. no mud guards, no tachometer, no alloy rims, no fog lights or spoiler etc...

The US models ES trim have up to tiptronic, 4 airbags, 4-wheel discs with abs and ebd, 16 and 17" rims, flair kit, spoiler, fog lights, sunroof, cruise control, leather seats, 6-cd changer in-dash etc...
