2002 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"A good car at a good price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Aside from routine maintanance this car is a dream.
Typical Japanese Quality and Reliabilty.
General comments?
Performance is good for a economy commuter.
Similar to the Hyundai Elantra, but a proven design.
Gas mileage could be better.
