1992 Mazda Protege Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The ratings are based specifically on my Protege, not the make in general. It had the capabilities of being a decent car. It ran great, would've stopped better if I could have afforded to replace all of the shocks. Mine wasn't real well cared for, so it was a real junker when I bought it... The interior was still fairly decent, but the previous owner had been in the middle of stripping it for a paint job when he sold it to me, so there was no top coat, and there were dingers all over the place. It was nice because it was still a sturdy build, not this plastic junk most cars are now. It got terrible gas mileage, but there's a pretty good chance that was because I couldn't afford to fix stuff. I do have to admit, it was one of my more fun cars!
