1999 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"It's alright"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing other than routine maintenance.
General comments?
This car's handling is amazing.
Acceleration from a stop is disappointing.
Interior is roomy for a little compact sedan.
H VAC system works great.
Noisy interior though you can probably hear a pin drop outside your door with all windows tightly raised.
If I was ever to buy another Mazda, I wouldn't buy their base model.
