1994 Mazda 626 review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Haven't had a problem with the car as yet, just had a major service and the mechanic said he couldnt find a fault with it, which was nice to hear. Just one question I have, the car seems to take off really slow. As if I'm driving a manul and taking off in 3rd gear. Also, don't understand what the little key hole is for on the gear stick. If someone could help me out, that would be fantastic.
