Article Abstract:
Mazda's 1990-1994 Protege models feature suspensions tuned more toward ride comfort than handling finesse, though steering response is good and they react well in city driving. Bumps are easily absorbed though they often produce a loud 'thump' sound. Hard cornering produces a lot of body lean, however, and the narrow 13-inch tires on the DX and LX editions begin squealing early. This generation of cars is exceptionally easy to drive and proffers a rewarding mix of manueverability, economy and quietness along with solid assembly quality.

Article Abstract:
Toyota entered the luxury-car segment with the launching of its 1990-1996 Lexus models. The ES 250 offers a comfortable ride and its suspension soaks up bumps with little notice. It also tends to display good control and stability at high speed, while standard anti-lock brakes provide strong, safe stops with good control. The ES 300 features more distinctive styling and more passenger space. Its 3.0-liter V-6 engines provide extra size and power. Both model types have helped Lexus maintain a solid image in the luxury car market.

Article Abstract:
The V-6 rather then the four-cylinder engine is more ideal in Mazda's 1993-1997 MX-6 models even if the four-cylinder provides adequate performance and better fuel economy. These sports coupes deliver willing performance and spirited acceleration with the combination of the V-6 engine and five-speed manual transmission. Handling is crisp and responsive, with little body roll in tight corners. It is argued that the MX-6 and Ford's Probe rank at the top among sports coupes.
