1998 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Bargain junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went out right after we bought the car. We would never recommend a 626 because our transmission guy said he has many 98 or 99 Mazda's come in for repair.
General comments?
We appreciate the car, but would like a more reliable car in the future.
