Good Ride — If you want a good car for basic transportation with low maintenance and operation costs, this is the answer. Good room inside and decent performance. Good mileage. Fun to drive. The car will keep on going if you do routine maintenance. Cloth interior held up extremely well. All wheels held alignment and the car was easy on tires. Would definitely consider another one in the future. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Good room inside and decent performance. Good mileage. Fun to drive. The car will keep on going if you do routine maintenance. Cons: none |

It Was My Fiance's Car And I Plan To Get It Back In Shape And Keep It That Way In Honor Of Her. — It has been very dependable and has a very forgiving clutch for teaching people how to drive a manual transmission. It is a very basic model and I Love that. I just wish it had cruise control, power windows and power locks with a key fob. And I wish I could afford to get the A/C working.I wish the " What did you mainly use this car for? " had options " Leisure " , "Main transportation ", and " Show" Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: It gets me where I need to go and did not used to cost a lot for maintenance parts. Cons: Cannot handle much weight and is not made for towing |

Very Economical Driver — Can't say much about this one. Did quite a bit of learning to drive stick on it. Heather owns it now.

Mazda Protege — PERFORMANCE: the acceleration sucks does not have enough power to pass,or get out of driveway into traffic.the braking is good for a little car BUILD QUALITY: it its starting to rust in the fender wells, has needed front rims replaced and transmission starting to skip at a 112,000 miles but when it needs to be fix it is expense and takes to long to get part, no room under the hood to do work even with just a wrench APPEARANCE: styling is crappy COST OF OWNERSHIP: gas milage is the only reason i keep the car 32mpg. FUN FACTOR: the car is not too bad to drive but could have more power Pros: gas mileage, radio Cons: not enough power, looks bad, no room under the hood to work on anything |

Mazda = Quality. — Aside from having an engine designed for economy (lacking on power) its got great gas mileage, looks great, rides comfortable, and works beautifully. I haven't had many problems with it. With the manual tranny, this car really isn't too bad to drive. I'd recommend this car to anyone that needs something good and reliable. Pros: Looks great, good gas mileage, comfortable for those under 6'4" Cons: Lacks on pickup. |

The power at take off could be better but that is what you get with a 1.5 L engine. i have had this car for years, it now has 195,000 miles and climbing! no problems yet! Pros: everything Cons: power |
