1999 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"Great car for a great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mass Airflow sensor was replaced under recall.
A/C smells musty sometimes when first turned on.
Nothing has gone wrong with it.
General comments?
Very roomy for a compact car.
More exciting to drive than Honda or Toyota.
Excellent fuel economy.
Could use a little more power, but that's what happens when you have a 1.6 liter engine.
I love my Protege and would definately buy one again. I haven't had to do a thing to it except for change the oil.
