1991 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"Great first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I have replaced in the car is the radiator. It had a hairline crack in it and because it was plastic they couldn't fix it.
General comments?
I really like this car. This is my first car and I'm glad I bought it. The first owner took very good care of it. The only thing I don't like is going 60mph the rpm is up at 3000. I have been in other proteges where the same has happen and have read different reviews and I'm not the only one. This car rides really smooth at 70 mph. My sister owns a 1992 protege and she loves hers to. Her protege has 170,000 miles on it and runs great. Hers is a Dx and is an automatic. I really recommend this car if you are a young teenager.
