1989 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"One of the most well-built cars ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What a wonderful car. I wouldn't have anything to put in this box if I had written this a week ago.
The transmission finally gave in at just over 300,000 miles requiring it to be rebuilt.
A new clutch at 285,000 miles.
General comments?
If you find one in good condition, grab it!
The seats are nice and very durable.
My oscillating center vents still work!
This car is solid and stable, nothing fancy and nothing tricky.
