1992 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"Unreliable, don't waste your money!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So many things, I don't noe where to start:
1. Distributor - I replaced the distributor which cost $800 from Mazda. I had to replace it because it was the main problem behind my car leaving me STRANDED IN THE ROAD EVERY WEEK!!! The car would just come to a stop (engine would just stop) and the car wouldn't start again. I've spent so much money to tow this piece of crap.
2. Won't start in cold weather.
3. 02 sensors replaced and the throttle body as well.
General comments?
Looks bad, drives bad, not reliable and a waste of money for a car that's old.
