1987 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Best car I've owned not to mention I only paid $300 for it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater core was leaking when I purchased the car.
Clutch was replaced at 224,000 miles.
Heater blower motor failed at 230,000 miles.
General comments?
This the second 626 I have owned.
This car is very comfortable for long trips. Driven from Seattle, WA to Phoenix, AZ three times in the last three years.
This not a performance car, but is by far the most reliable auto I have ever owned.
