1992 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"The little Protege that could"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seat-belt light is almost always on and chirping, but this is a minor inconvience.
General comments?
The horsepower on this car has got to be under-rated. I have never had a problem reaching freeway speeds and have raced cars that should have beat me, but didn't.
This car has spent most of her 9 years parked in a driveway or parking lot, and the finish is impeccable.
