Nothing has gone wrong with the car yet.
Impressive power for a 2.0 liter engine.
Handles incredibly well.
Pretty good on gas: 25-30 MPG.
Comfortable interior.
Smooth shifting transmission.
Just wanted to let Mazda Protege 5 owners that my 2003 engine blew up on me with 52,000 kilometers. Turned out that both piston rods went. (not a happy camper).
Hi there, for me I work for a Mazda Company, and I have not seen many 2.0 motors blow up unless you don't add any oil or maintain the car. Was there oil in the motor?
