1991 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"Gutless econo box"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wrecked transmission - 1400 dollars
Power windows didn't work.
General comments?
My first car, handed down to me from my parents at 17.
Could only spin the tires on gravel.
For a car that had the oil changed maybe twice in its 9 year life, I'm surprised the motor didn't blow up.
