2000 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"Comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Chose this car because I wanted cheap, reliable transportation.
Very comfortable, space efficient.
Underpowered, but you adapt your driving. Mazda bumped the base engine size in 2001.
Handles quite well, but I will eventually upgrade the tires.
