2002 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"Unbelievable Quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odd smell coming from the ventilation system.
General comments?
I can't believe the quality in this car, especially for the price.
Decently loaded.
Fuel mileage could be a bit better, but then again, it does have a lot of power.
No real complaints. I'd recommend this car to either someone who's looking for a good first car, I'd even recommend this car for a small family as their only car!
