2002 Mazda Protege P5 review from North America
"Reliable economy and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the starter and battery at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
Very good value in a small car that handles well and has some storage.
It is a noisy car, but I did add insulation and upgraded stereo.
Seats are supportive for long distance.
I gave a 7 for ride, because it is taut.
Dual front and side airbags.
My wife loves the car with one child.
Reliable!
