Can I use a Miata trailer on a Protege?

I investigated small trailers, look at Harbor Freight and check this one out:

I've used a friend's trailer from Harbor Freight with no complaints. To me, the only reason to consider the one Lowe's sells is if you have a need to roll heavy things up onto the trailer. Their trailer has a tailgate that folds down and is big enough to use as a ramp - the Harbor Freight one doesn't. Also, if I remember right, you do have to add your own flooring to the Harbor Freight trailer, but then the $300 saved can buy a lot of exterior plywood!

Which is exactly why I'm looking at the Lowes trailer and not the HF.

Depends entirely which HF trailer you get, they list a bunch of them.

Yeah..... I could get one of those

But I was thinking more along the lines of a nice looking Miata trailer that I could not only use for utility purposes.... but also use to haul luggage and clothes and such when traveling

I don't think there's any such thing as a "Miata trailer." A trailer is a trailer; so log as it and the car agree on ball size and wiring, they work. So you should be able to use any lightweight trailer, and there are hundreds of manufacturers in the US.

Don't know what you consider "utility", but if you want something small and enclosed you might consider larger motorcycle trailers, made for towing behind Valkyries, Gold Wings, and such.

OK

I actually thought they made a specific trailer for the Miata's
