1994 Mazda 626 GLX wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great workhorse, and reasonably comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Outer CV joint boots split
Fuel pump leaking oil
Central locking not working correctly
Rear wiper wouldn't stop.
General comments?
Not a car that would light your fire, but an amazingly reliable workhorse, with few problems over the 126,000km we've run it.
