1991 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"It gets me where I need to go, but not really in style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads needed to be replaced and they were wearing unevenly.
The exhaust and muffler have almost completely disappeared due to rusting.
The right front boot has deteriorated and is beginning to rust at the joint. There is a thudding noise coming from that area when hitting bumps.
The tape player isn't fully functional.
General comments?
It has been reliable enough, but I don't love the styling. You really have to get it revving to accelerate at all.
