I have owned this car since 2009. Almost 4 years and 70,000 trouble free miles. Have only replaced plugs, wires, belts, EGR, radiator, battery, tires, brakes, and oil changes. In 2010 I hit a deer, busted up my grill and my hood. In 2011, a deer ran into the side of it and took out my fender and blinker (lots of deer around here). Later that year, my dad slammed into it backing out of a driveway with a full size SUV, took out my rear quarter and tail light. Car was still fine, was fixed cheaply and kept driving it winter 2011, when I had a tire blow out (10,000 mile old tires!!!) on ice and the car slid through a ditch and took out an AT&T power box. Car was still fine! So the car had gotten to the point of being in such bad cosmetic condition, I was completely embarrassed to drive it. So winter of last year, I shelled out some cash, and gave her a brand new look
I needed to do something to make the Protege more compelling to drive so that I wouldn't put the mileage on my Camaro.
It now has 138,000 miles and I just put brand new winter wheels on it last week, along with replacing the plugs and wires again.
Enjoy!!!
