1994 Mazda Protege review from North America
"Great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Feels like the struts may need to be replaced.
Transmission is beginning to slip slightly.
General comments?
Other than normal routine, we have had no major problems.
Things are just starting to happen, but with over 135k miles it is expected.
It starts up everyday and has great pick-up. The seat belts are uncomfortable in their positioning.
This car is one thing my 1996 Kia Sephia (review posted) wasn't, "RELIABLE".
