Mazda Protege'
I am looking at buying a 2002 Mazda Protege'. When this car was new the
sticker said it would get about 36 mpg. It is a 5 speed. Now if you look at ratings it is only rated at 31. Can anyone tell me what kind of mileage I will get. I drive mostly on the highway. Thanks. |

If you drive hard expect it to be a little lower. -John |
A two liter is a two liter. Don't buy the car for that reason. A good reason
for buying a Protégé is that they are relatively inexpensive, excellent cars. Very reliable, very good on comfort and they handle reasonably well for a sedan. We have a 1997 that one of my daughters drives to college. Bought it a few years ago for about $4K. Since then, it's needed some A/C work and I put in a new water pump and timing belt. At 107K, it's doing quite well. My oldest daughter graduated from school in 2003, we played "beat the dealer" and she bought a new Protégé (last year of manufacture). It has been absolutely trouble free; not even a loose this or that. Yet another excellent example. Ken "Zane Warren" > wrote in message ... > I am looking at buying a 2002 Mazda Protege'.
