24. Mazda Protege
The compact Protege was more famous for being stuck on the side of the road then sales. To be fair, Mazda did put a lot of effort into the Protege by offering a good deal of standard features. There was also the very rare Protege Wagon, which also managed success with consumers. Bad reliability and a paltry warranty plan hurt the Protege in the long run.
The Mazda Protege is still seen from time to time on the used car market. You can find these for a little bit of nothing. But the difficulty of maintenance and the pricey parts have made the car a relic. Mazda has since changed things up with the Mazda 3 compact, which has become a success for the brand.
