 Had my protege almost 1 year now and 
have enjoyed all the driving. Racked up 
16000 miles on road trips and driving 
to work and has been clear sailing thus 
far. Milage is still improving on all 
types of driving averaging about 28mpg 
and I don't get too uncomfortable even 
after 6 hours of straight driving. 
Babied this car the whole way and it is 
built to last. Can't beat the deal they 
offered late in the model year. 
Moonroof, 6-disc, abs all great options 
on a bargain car. Solid driving on 
sunny days and very controllable on 
snowy streets.
