1998 Mazda 626 ES V-6 review from North America
"Luxury car with quick and sporty pace"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nada - not even the brakes have been replaced after 60,000 miles. Don't have any dealer comments because haven't been to one since I bought the car.
General comments?
Good car. Engine is powerful but the suspension sways a bit too much for my liking after driving a Miata for a year.
This car has plenty of room for 4 or 5 and is very comfortable. Luxury and sporty all in one.
Might consider buying another if I didn't own a convertible for a year. Must get another convertible!
