1987 Mazda 626 DX review from North America
"Very reliable and cheap."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaky valve cover gasket.
Clutch (at 220,000 miles)
Gas Tank had a Leak.
Air Conditioning did not work.
Radiator went bad at 240,000 miles.
A few more odds and ends, but what do you expect from a car with a quarter of a million miles on it.
Rusted real bad by the fuel door, and under the car especially by the rear shock mounts. (that rusted through) which is why I sold the car.
General comments?
That Car was great!
I could always depend on the car starting.
The engine never ever gave me problems.
I loved that car it wasn't the most beautiful car ever, but it was a comfortable ride for the money.
