2002 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"HORRIBLE"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission gave out at around 120,000 miles. Had a new transmission put in, but that too gave out just with barely 6,000 miles put on it!! What a pain to deal with!!
General comments?
The car was nice when I first bought it, but now that it has given me major problems (transmission)...I hate it! Should have just purchased a Honda or Toyota!
