1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"To high maintenance for a family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has a lot of problem.
Hard shifting.
Always dies when I put in park or even neutral.
Over heats when I accelerate, but cools down when I slow down.
Belt pulley already makes noise like it wants to break.
General comments?
This car is great for a family.
It's very roomy and drives pretty smooth.
I doubt I would ever buy one like it again.
