1998 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"Very reliable and a very good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door locks replaced under warranty
check engine light is always on, but runs fine
cooling fans replaced.
General comments?
Sluggish, but fine once you get going
very reliable
handles very well for small car, but the
ride is rough
this the most reliable car I have ever owned even better than Toyota.
