1994 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"It's just reliable--- that's it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace serpentine belts.
I had to service the air conditioning.
I had to insert new bulbs for the lights.
I needed new tires.
Transmission has loss some of its power.
I replaced the radiator twice-- 1st time the car's fault, 2nd time my fault=accident.
Of course the fuses need to be replaced.
I replace the windshield wiper relay.
General comments?
This car is very reliable considering what I put it through.
Make sure as owner you have a job to pay for the expenses.
The hold command feature for the car is a blast for acceleration and traction.
Good car for college student, since I was using it that way.
Handling can be better and braking can be adjusted as well.
Superb gas mileage.
Heating the car in the winter though can be time consuming.
