1994 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
"The BEST at everything in the class for those years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Kept everything up to date, maintained meticulously so nothing major really went out.
General comments?
I love this car to death, it's got a very distinct personality and it handles pretty good for those years, incredibly reliable, not fast, but good in comparison with the other cars of that time. 0 to 60 comes in 11.5 sec (auto) so it's not much. Max. speed 115Mph. Interior comfort for the driver is not the best, but back seat is comfortable. I have 170K miles, and although it looks out dated, I'm gonna keep it until it dies.
