1990 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"If you can find one, buy it...NOW!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Really, the only real "bad" thing since I've owned is that I had to replace the water pump at 175,000.
General comments?
Car runs great and handles like a dream.
Easy on the gas & eyes :)
Would have loved to been the 1st owner, but alas I'm the 3rd.The 2nd owner really didn't want to sell, but had no choice :)
