2002 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"A great car for a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
I have had my Mazda Protege for about a year and I am very satisfied with this car.
The performance is quite reasonable. I was surprised to discover that acceleration, even at 80 mph, was quite brisk for a small car.
The car has been been absolutely reliable. I have yet to even as much as a rattle or squeak in the car.
The Protege is very comfortable. The eats have plenty of adjustments, such as lumbar support. The back passengers have adequate room.
All in all, this is a great car for the price.
