2003 Mazda Protege review from North America
"Almost perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Only routine service. My dealer is very honest, too. I assume I cannot mention the dealer by name, so I will not. But it is about 15 miles South of Boston, Massachusetts.
General comments?
The car is a little cramped. It does not have as much power as my previous car, a 1987 VW Jetta. But this Mazda Protege is something. It was rated "Best Buy" by several rating services and I can see why. It is comfortable, reliable, and gets good gas mileage for an automatic. Overall quality very good.
