1994 Mazda 626 cronos review from North America
"Very reliable, I must have got lucky"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have changed the starter ounce at 295,000 km and the alternator twice since I've owned it. Transmission finally went at 330,000 km. possibly motor going too.
General comments?
This car could be faster. Not as fast as my 2000 Grand Prix GTP. Rides very nice, the suspension was completely redone before I bought it and had regular tune ups every 20,000 km except oil every 3000 km. Its been in my family since it rolled off the dealers lot. The car has held up pretty good for 330,000 km without any major problems unit now. Comfortable to ride in and drive.
