A really Great Little Car
TMoon, 02/11/2003
1991 Mazda Protege LX 4dr Sedan
In the 80's, Mazda offered the GLC:
Great Little Car. But my '91 Protege
has that one beat! I've driven it for
12 years/168,000 miles. Yes, it's
needed some major repairs (manual
xmission, brakes, head gasket), but
nothing else has gone wrong with it.
And, it's more fun to drive than many
so-called "sports" cars. Great
handling; wonderful sounding engine. …
Fairly comfy seats. Good ergonomics.
Can't beat it!

1991 Mazda Protege LX 4dr Sedan
Fantastic car for a purist. Well-balanced. Has the most wonderful steering feel ever. Reliable. Doesn't rust as much as my other car--the 1996 Honda Accord. 8.5 secords to 60 mph, .8g skidpad with stock tires, 16.9 seconds to quarter mile... but oh, how heavenly does it corner. I even prefer its engine sound to the newer Proteges. 30 MPG highway.

1991 Mazda Protege DX 4dr Sedan
After 126,000 in 11 years, my Protege keeps on ticking. It has been such a
thrifty little car with no rust after living in snow a salt county for 10 years.
Here is what has gone wrong with the car in 11 years: Panasonic radio died
and was replaced completey free under warrantee, brake were repaced
twice, exhaust replaced twice, A/C compressor replaced. That is it along
with … regular tune ups and oil changes. The car runs perfectly, not a single
squeek or thud has emerged over the miles. I am completely satisfied with
this well built econo-box and will buy another Mazda when the time comes.

It'll do!!!

1991 Mazda Protege DX 4dr Sedan
This vehicle is great on dry roads but
I found that it tends to hydro-plane on
wet roads. It's good for driving around
town but not so good for going out of
town.

Should I lease or buy a 1991 Mazda Protege?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
