2002 Mazda 626 review from Bulgaria
"Excellent car, outstanding reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has go wrong for these >5 years of service! No expenses, other than consumables for the normal maintenance have been made. Fantastic reliability. Take into consideration that our roads condition is not very good, so all cars sooner or later break something on the suspension (usually starting above 60k km)
General comments?
Although this is not the stronger 2.0 engine (only 115hp), it gives a decent amount of urge. The interior is well laid out, comfortable.
The trunk is big, but not very useful on the "sedan" version, better go for the hatchback or station wagon, they are more practical.
Consumables and labour are rather expensive, I've heard prices of the spare parts above imagination, hope not to see them on my bill :-)
