Port St. Lucie, FL

 1990 Mazda Protege

160,547 mi

Fully Loaded

After over 160,000 miles JC probably has a good idea how well his Protege performs. JC is pleased with his Protege and gave it generally strong ratings. He is pleased with the vehicle's handling and power. Interior appointments were also good and the interior still looks good. The vehicle's exterior, however, did not wear as well as the interior and got a poor rating. That, electrical and wind noise, are really the only three categories JC gave the Protege poor marks. Otherwise, the vehicle rated very well.

Overall Rating:

GREEN LIGHT MEANS GO!
