1995 Mazda 626 DX review from North America
"Competitive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I changed the oxygen sensor 4 times in the last 8 years and never had a clue why you need to pay around $400 for this job when the part is around $60. Also changed the alternator and the ignition coil. Despite the above, given it still runs well after 13 years I would call it almost trouble free.
General comments?
Great road feel and handling on twisty roads.
Reasonable power for a 2 liter / 4 cylinder engine.
Head rests are too low.
