1999 Mazda Protege LX review from North America
"I love this car, but if I had it to do all over again I don't think I would purchase another Mazda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light has been on for almost two years and sometimes the car suddenly jerks while driving at mid-speed. The rear passenger doors don't operate when you press the power locks. I was told the egr valve has excessive flow, but I cannot afford to purchase a new egr valve and no one is really certain that I need one. Could this be a sensor issue?
General comments?
I really do love this car and haven't had any major problems other than the ones listed above. The car is very good on gas.
