1992 Mazda 626 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Executive class bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake calipers failed, apparently this is a known fault with the 626.
I seem to have a loose connection in a few of the warning lights in the dash.
General comments?
Powerful, comfortable car.
Very poor mpg in the city, but excellent mpg on the open road. At home on the motorway.
Cornering pretty poor, but you don't buy a car this size for rallying!
These cars DO NOT hold their value here in Ireland. Very cheap second hand. Can't understand why. Good car for money.
