The first 2 years I owned it (1998- 2000), I had virtually no problems. But these last 2 years, I have had several replacements including brake pads, brake calipers, struts, CV boots, water pump, engine timing belt, muffler, & battery (my fault on the battery; killed it too many times). This week I'm getting the fuel filter replaced. It has about 220,000 KM (140,000 miles). Other reviewers have given their Proteges glowing endorsements, but I cannot say the same for mine. Peformance & mileage is great, but the repairs are sucking me dry.
bought it yesterday

just bought a 1993 protege yesterday. I haven't driven it yet (it'll be delivered tomorrow) except for being a passenger on the test drive. It's my first car, but the ride was smooth, the sound quality on the radio was great, aqnd it will be a perfect first car!

This car just goes and goes and goes. I have not been the best at maintaining it, yet it continues to run great. I got it used with 43,100 miles on it and now it has 218,000. The only major repair I have had in 5 years was replacement of the front axle. Otherwise, this care has been virtually trouble-free. Wish this car was more comfortable and quiet, though.
185,000 Miles and Still Going

I bought it brand new in June of 1993 and never had a single regret. The only mechanical work was new CV boots & joints at 150,000 miles and all new seals in the upper half of the engine at 175,000 miles. I've kept the oil changed between 3,000 and 4,000 miles and kept the engine tuned up. I've got the 5-speed and it's still working on the original clutch. I get 40 miles to the gallon on the highway and I drive it 80 miles to and from work each day. I've got my $8,000 worth.
Excellent 'runner'

Bought in '95 with 19K, now has 131,000 miles and runs great! 5-sp has better pickup than my wife's 94 Geo Prism, even at higher speeds. Fun to drive and gets 30 mpg. A/C went out 3 years ago, one front speaker 2 years ago, but otherwise no major problems. Original clutch still works great.
