1994 Mazda Protege LX?? no frills review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Caliper in front right tire has given me trouble since I purchased the car. It continues to stick, even after being replaced in 1997 while under warranty. Continues to click when braking and I have been informed that there is not much that can be done about it. Have considered a Lemon Law claim for this recurring problem... Just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem with this model.
Also had to replace the exhaust system in 1997 and most recently a flex exhaust pipe.
General comments?
Car has served me well despite the caliper problem. Drives well and has good pick up. I do enjoy the car and feel that I have got my $ out of it.
