1993 Mazda Protege 4 Dr DX Sedan

Review

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.

Favorite Features

5-speed.

Suggested Improvements

None.

Review

This is a very reliable car and I didn't get much fixed in the years that I owned it. Would have been nice to have airbags ut other than that it is a great car to have.

Favorite Features

Suprisingly peppy engine, particularly when matched with a standard shift.

Suggested Improvements

The interior and exterior styling are somewhat boring although still functional.

My 93 Protege has been outstanding. I have 116K miles on it and have never had to make any repairs other than normal maintenance.

Review

Bought it new - only car at the time (worth buying) for under $10 grand with AC and a stereo. No major complaints. Typical Mazda mediocre paint. Cheap to fix, when it rarely needs it. Gets 32 mpg no matter how it's driven. Great alternative to a Civic or Corolla for a lot less money.

Favorite Features

Gas Mileage. Styling. Reliability.

Kind of on the light side, but it is a good car, only took it to the shop two times in 9 years, still works great

more space to put stuff around the stick area...there's nowhere to set a CD player if you have a CD player to Car Audio converter
