1997 Mazda Protege LS review from North America
"Price, Performance, Product = Amazing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Timming Belt 100,000km changed
- Rear boots needed replacing, along with struts.
- Door locks tend to stick, won't turn in cold weather. need to be replaced.
- Blinker left shorts out.
Nothing too bad, little things. For me usually weird things.
General comments?
This is a fun car to drive, Gas is amazing, can't beat the price. This car is great for 1-2 people in the car, up to 4 people you can walk faster then this will go. All in all if you are under bugit this is the car for you, Oil changes done on time, this car will keep on ZOOOOMING. Would I buy another, that is 100% YES.
