2002 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"The next Civic eater"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
This car is the nicest car I've ever riden in.
The seats are comfotable and plush (velour).
It has a standard 150-watt Pioneer sound-system, with 4 speakers (all stock)
Lots of room in the back seat.
Cruise control works unbelievably well.
Air Conditioning works excellent.
Driver-adaptive 4-speed transmission with over drive shifts nicely, and has tons of power when needed. It knows exactly when to shift according to your driving style.
