1990 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Well Made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad: Had to repair the alternator belt. (cheap)
AC is long gone.
CV joints are going bad.
There is a shake in the car when idling in drive.
Rust on the rear driver fender.
Burns oil.
General comments?
Good: I'm rough on it and it has held up very well.
Seats are still in perfect condition.
Drives well, handles well.
Plan to drive it for 50000+ more miles.
