1995 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"A good value and reliable car for a teen, college student, or anyone wanting a good reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat track broke.
Power Lock button came loose and a wire became disconnected.
Air conditioner is just starting to loose its ability to cool the car.
Belts squeal and adjusting them doesn't help.
Transmission starting to cause the car to jerk as RPM's increase.
Car starting to shake when at highway speeds. New tires, alignment, and balancing has not helped much.
Radio knobs don't work that well. When you try to increase the volume, it may decrease, etc...
General comments?
Great gas mileage.
It has never left me stranded.
Highly reliable.
No real problems in over 100,000 miles.
Excellent value for the money.
I would feel comfortable with buying one of these cars for my daughter to drive. It is a car I feel wouldn't leave her somewhere.
