The Protege platform as a whole is very reliable. They eat bushings like you wouldn't believe (just get used to the clunking in the back) but otherwise, great cars. Other than the rust of course. (We store ours for the winter.)

The slushbox can be a little dicey at higher mileage. To be honest I think the same generation of Civic is a better ghetto beater. It's not as fun to drive, but the cabin is much quieter, and it doesn't rust like a Mazda.
