 This is the 1st vehicle I had to get 
rid of within a 2 yr. period. The 
heating system sucks - no even 
distribution, the gear is in the way of 
my radio & A/C, Very hard to remove any 
stains from carpet, Front cup holders 
are not secure - soda tips over all the 
time, CD plays when it wants to, loud 
engine when idling, no pick up, sulfur 
smell and the serv. dept. can't figure 
out the problem, 1 "old" mazda protege 
loaner vehicle in the entire dealership 
only for repairs beyond 48hrs. If you 
want some real service..purchase from 
Honda, Toyota, or Lexus where the 
service is A-1
