1992 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Man, I can't believe it...203,000!
This car still has the factory clutch in it. It runs like a charm.
The only problem I have had is the seat belt buzzer. It kept buzzing even when all seatbelts were fastened. I fixed it though... I looked under the dash and found the buzzer and smashed it several times with a screwdriver.
I guess I do have another problem. I can't find the A/C fuse.
I have replaced both drive axles since I purchased the car. It is currently lowered and has an aluminum wing on the back... (fast and the furious style). I want to upgrade the exhaust and install a cone air filter. I'm afraid to put too much money in it with all the miles it has. But you only live once. All in all, I love my little Pro. - Later!
