Bought this car 5 months ago for $800.00 and that was the best money ever spent. Car had 163,000 miles on it and I have put 10,000 more miles on it since then and probably saved over $1,000 in gas money so far, if not more. Had a gas guzzling Dodge Ram that got 14 mpg and this Protege gets 37 mpg. With gas price the way they are, this car will be around for ever if I can help it. Don't like auto seat belt but will cope with that.

I drive my protege real hard, keeping
those RPM's up all the time and the
thing just handles great. I bag on the
car all the time and it doesn't get
problems. Its a very reliable car, even
more so if you don't beat it to hell
like i do. This is a very good car for
just getting around in or ur teenagers
first car. I would recommend it to
anyone. It could do with a lil more
pwoer though, but its not hard to add a
few mods like a custom intake and a
turbocharger and my lil protege has
bout 175 hp. Thats a terrific gain from
the stock 105hp, with still great fuel
mileage. i estimate my car to at least
get 36 mpg.

As the original owner, this car has
been very reliable for the past 12+
years. It stalled once around 60k
miles, and ended up replacing the tie
rods. Besides that, there hasnt been
any other major problem. Earlier this
year the car passed 170k miles, and I
see no reason to replace it.

The PLASTIC radiator blew up three
summers ago (2001); I have had
nothing but problems since then--I've
since replaced the radiator, head
gasket (twice, I think) timing belt
(expected...once... I've had to replace
it twice in less than two years. No one
can figure out why it keeps
shredding/coming off.), water pump,
thermostat, A/C switch and housing,
compressor, etc. I CAN'T WAIT 'til I
can afford to get another NEW car. I
plan to never buy Mazda again, nor an
older used car, even though this one
was only 6.5 years old when I bought
it, with 57K miles. It's now at only
107K miles.
