2003 Mazda Protege ES review from North America
"Great small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes front and back are gone after only 55,000 km.
General comments?
Besides the brakes this car is vary reliable.
Handles really well. Zoom zoom indeed.
Needed to get a sunroof deflector, at highway speeds you couldn't hold a conversation with sunroof open.
I do recommend getting winter tires as the factory Dunlops are not designed for winter.
