1995 Mazda Protege DX 4dr Sedan
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
I bought a 95 Mazda DX with 118,000 miles and have driven it every day. I had the timing belt, water pump, and belts changed. I also had a new clutch installed. It now has 184,000 miles and drives great. The only thing I have changed is the oil and antifreeze. The mileage is great. I get about 34-36 mpg. If you want a fast car this is not the car for you. It's painfully slow at times, the cup holders and stereo are to close together, and its kinda loud inside. I'm on my 3rd rear defrost button, but its easy to fix. I have the 5 speed, just wished it had a 6 speed.
Gets me through

Recently purchased from original owner. Always garaged and in excellent shape inside and out. 1995 car with 11,200 actual miles. My mechanic can not believe the condition. The condition is new and ready to go. My boy should get through his last two years and all of college with this ride, and only them have maybe 60k miles. We'll see how reliable this old new car turns to be. Not bad for $3k a worthwhile gamble cheers.
Great Bargain

Paid just over $3k for my '95 DX automatic with 55k miles. Body had some dings and scratches and interior was a little roughed up (all from previous owner) but internally car is sound! 8k miles later...no problems. Car is an absolute steal for the price. Drives super smooth and has a well built-quality feel throughout. I can go 75-80mph with the AC on and the car doesn't flutter a bit. Mileage is not what a Honda is. I get about 28-30 combined. Protege is inexpensive yet very pleasant transportation.
Wish they made more like them

I bought my Protege in preparation for going back to college for $3,500 with 117k on it. It's a 5 speed with a 1.5 liter. I use it for everything short of what I would need a truck for. It has plenty of room for 4-5 people and great trunk space. More than two years later, it has 156k and still going strong. Aside from basic maintenance, it has only needed a new timing belt (water pump done at same time to save $$), thermostat and tires, all wear and tear items. Although not absolutely necessary, I also replaced the struts (another wear and tear item) since I plan to drive this one until it dies, which will probably be a long time.
It's a great car!

This is the first car I've ever owned and I have been so happy with it. I've had my Protoge for three years, it's a '95 and I LOVE it!!! Whenever I get another car I'd buy a Protoge again!
