1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"The transmission is awful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmissions is horrible. It had to be replaced twice. The belts had to be replaced long before they should have been. I have had electrical problems. The check engine engine light comes on and I do not know why. The paint has started to wear.
General comments?
Very horrible if you want a car that will last a long time. Even though it has lasted 211,000 miles, it was a fight all the way. I wouldn't recommend Mazda.
