1998 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"Would not buy another one, but will love driving this till it dies!"
General comments?
My wife and I bought this car in 01 and it had 50,000 miles on it. The only problem we’ve had on this is the “Check Engine Light”. To tell you the truth it hasn’t effected anything on the car. It now has 210,000 Miles on it. With a few cross country trips (4) we’ve been regular with our oil changes and brake pads and other normal fixes. Above all I have done nothing about the “Check Engine Light” for the past year and a half, still no problems.
