Wen was handed down to me last 2000 when we sold my previous ride, a 1995 nissan sentra series 3. I didnt like her at first because, well, i didnt know mazda that much and was biased on the nissan marque (we used to own 3 at a time). Thanks to the internet, i found protegetech.com and a link to a philippine website..and the rest as they say is history :)
