2002 Mazda Protege ex review from North America
"GREAT CAR with GREAT Handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Serpentine belt went loose at 88,000.
General comments?
The Mazda Protege is by far the BEST car I've ever owned. IT has never Had any big problems I've had the car up to 130 mph no joke the car handled very steady at such a high speed there was no shaking of any kind however the noise from the wind was pretty loud, but that would never stop me from buying Another MAZDA PROTEGE ES.
