1998 Mazda 626 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Very good Japanese built, but not USA!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
Excellent car, all the negative reviews for the Mazda 626 on here seem to come from the USA, and those cars are built somewhere else I'm sure...
This car is 10 years old and nearly done 100,000 miles and it's still going like new.
In the UK, we have Japanese built Mazda 626's, and they are very reliable, well equipped cars.
Handles very well - bit of a bumpy ride though, better at speed, unrefined around town.
Lots of space. Nice interior.
Looks good - I have saloon with alloys not the usual hatchback ones you see.
Very reliable so far. Economical 2 litre engine (about 35 MPG) and goes well when you need to.
Overall a nice car, can't fault it. Shame you guys in the USA got badly built versions of them.
