1999 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"It is a great car with only a few problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a horrible smell that comes through the A/C vents when I have to rev hard. The smell could aptly be described as bad fish.
My Air compressor busted.
General comments?
This car is very quick and handles great.
The base model of this car can handle speeds of about 117 mph.
The car is comfortable and low to the ground.
