Gallant Steed

Purchased at new 2002 Mazda Protege ES Manual transmission sedan. Best car I've owned. Very low in vehicle maintenance and have replaced the clutch only 2 x at almost 250k miles. I have a great "shade tree" mechanic who has stated that the 2000's Japanese cars will run forever if just taken care of. Despite its age, the power windows and 2-position tilt & open - sun roof still work. Certainly I use more oil at mileage but it's still relatively gas-thrifty with the 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated engine. Definitely no other new model out there to replace it. I'll continue to drive until I absolutely fall in love with a worthy replacement! - 5.0
