1996 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"Overall a good reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes had to be replaced twice.
Water pump has been replaced.
Check engine light goes on/off randomly.
Horn works randomly.
It seems electrical system, car door lights and overhead inside light work sporadically.
Someone was sleeping on the assembly line when my car was put together.
Also my car was made in Japan.
General comments?
The car is very reliable.
