Mazda Protege 1993

1993 Mazda Protege DX 4dr Sedan
I bought this car three years ago with 273,000 kms on it. Replaced the exhaust, replaced water pump and timing belt. Body work etc. Almost 80,000 kms added to the total... sitting at 358,000 kms now. Does not burn oil. Still has lots of power, great on the highway. Would buy another in a heart beat.

Kind of on the light side, but it is a
good car, only took it to the shop two
times in 9 years, still works great

1993 Mazda Protege LX 4dr Sedan
I bought my car in June of 1993. Was my first brand new car. Had the recommended maintainence. In the 15 yrs. I've had it never and any major repairs on it that I had to pay out of pocket. I have drove it from NY to WA to CA replaced the clutch 3 times first time at over 100k. I keep it clean and have kept all maint. record since owning it. I paid it off in 1997 and 10 yrs of no payments … is very nice. Plan on keeping it for quite some time. My one complaint about it is that the power windows are on the slow side and is in need od a new driverside window unit. She still looks great at 15 yrs old!

1993 Mazda Protege DX 4dr Sedan
Bought it new - only car at the time
(worth buying) for under $10 grand with
AC and a stereo. No major complaints.
Typical Mazda mediocre paint. Cheap to
fix, when it rarely needs it. Gets 32
mpg no matter how it's driven. Great
alternative to a Civic or Corolla for a
lot less money.
