2001 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Can be lived with as a daily commuter vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far impeccable functioning engine.
Radio speakers started to vibrate too early.
Front seats get uncomfortable on long rides.
Good mileage.
Front door handles seem flimsy when you pull on them to close door.
General comments?
Handling is above average. Not a BMW, but sticks to the road well during hard cornering.
Steering wheel is somewhat uncomfortable for a six footer or above. Sits too low. Good headroom, though.
Radio dial is incomprehensible, cannot see the numbers during high noon.
