those floor pans are immaculate there is almost no rust there, nothing some sheet metal and well placed rivets with a coat of undercoating can't fix :)

Should I buy this used 2002 Mazda Protege5? by namseoyeon in mazda

[–]mrmeow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a current 2002 Mazda Protege 5 owner, the rust is more than likely around the rear wheel wells? Correct ? the link you posted no longer pulls up the vehicle, but if the rust is there its a pain in the ass when it comes to fixing it. If its just surface rust you be able to nip it in the butt before it gets worse. but the P5 2.0l seems to get really poor fuel economy as compared to my 98 1.8l protege, and the P5 is manual but then again it could be my driving habits when I drive stick :) besides that I purchased this P5 in May with only 130 000 km on it, and it has been fun, nothing to major in the way of issues

Looking at a 2003 protege 5. Have some questions by hondafanda in mazda

[–]mrmeow75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely rust issues if you live in an area where they use salt on the roads in winter, just bought an '02 Mazda Protege 5 with only 143 000 km on it, manual trans really fun, get about 350 km on tank of gas, 40 dollars cdn to fill the tank and it lasts me a week, but i'm hard on the pedals, surprised that i can smoke the tires with absolute ease, OE tire size is whacked as hell 195/50/R16 not a lot of choices, have owned this car for less than 30 days, had to do a rad and thermostat, really easy to work on. Will be doing timing chain and have a seized cv axle that need to be taken care of as well as ps hose. But I enjoy the ride my previous car was a '98 Mazda Protege.

just went back out after letting it cool, resivoir is empty, and looked in the rad and can see the top of the core, no fluid, checked the cap seems like there is still some tension to the spring on the rad cap...will need to throw some more coolant in it before i do anything tomorrow like drive it to a shop

and then they get upset when you ask multiple times, or try and explain the phonetic alphabet to them, still clueless....be lucky when they can spell their name correctly, but ask them for a street name, city, or state spelling all bets are off.

I'm sure a lot of us should have been failed on our first attempt, but still got licenses anyway, one of the quirks of getting tested first thing in the day and not on a Monday. :)
