2002 Mazda Protege PR5 review from North America
"A stylish runabout"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
The car has excellent handling and the steering is very accurate.
Could definitely use more power, however.
Very smooth automatic transmission.
Very comfortable seats and sensible interior.
Very well built, excellent finish.
Rough ride, and a lot of road and wind noise.
Disappointing gas mileage.
