1994 Mazda Protege Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1994 Mazda Protege appreciate its dependability and surprising performance, especially given its age. Many drivers favor its fuel efficiency and sporty feel for daily use. However, some have faced frequent repair issues, indicating that while the engine is strong, other components may lack reliability or durability."
The Protege LX's contain Mazda's strong BPD engine, however everything else around it seemed to suck. Infact, I seriously think the engine was the best part of the car. It never burned a drop of oil, and it had decent pep... The car had a lot of nice features, sun roof, cruise, power windows & locks... It was a nice car, but I always had a new repair project for it on a monthly basis:( I probably spent nearly $1000 in parts for this car in the 10 months I had it and lost $1000 when I traded it in for the Vic... It was a bad deal:( Part of the reason I believe the car had so many issues was the way the previous owner took care of it, not necessarily because it was an outrageously awful car. Sometimes, I wonder if I should of kept it... I do miss the stick shift, but I'm not sure if the car would still be running today. I probably would have at least had to replace the clutch and/or the CV joints.
