2002 Mazda Protege 5 review from North America
"Questionable to say the least"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tires (all 4) have bubbled and the Wheels are bent. We have not driven the Protege 5 off road. It appears that the quality of the tires and wheels are not at a level even for street driving. We bought the car new.
General comments?
The tires and wheels are the last thing that I would have expected to wear out on the Car.
Mazda has refused to except the fact that they put poor quality tires and rims on the 2002 Protege 5.
