 The new Mazda Proteges are ok...but 
they are way underpowered.  I have a 
1994 DX which is a 1.8L SOHC 4 
cylinder.  My SOHC engine, which is 
only 103hp just right out murders the 
1.6L DOHC engine thats in the new 
Proteges.  I was very disappointed in 
the 1.6L when I test drove it.  That 
engine had no pep or pick up at all.  
Whats with all that Zoom Zoom talk 
when the new Proteges do not have 
any?!?!.  The First Generation 
Proteges are far better than the new 
ones.
