2001 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"Great car, great performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've only had to replace the brakes. That's it. I've done all of the regularly scheduled maintenance visits.
There is a tiny bit of rust on the drivers door below the handle -- the exact same place my last Mazda rusted. But only a bit.
General comments?
This is a great car. It feels sporty, has great pick up on the highway and is super comfortable. The inside looks sleek and the performance in city is great.
This is my second Mazda and I may buy another one.
