1995 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"The car is not dependable, and poorly engineered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failed at 74,000 miles, luckily we had purchased the extended warranty, but the Mazda dealer would not honor the warranty. We had to take the car to a transmission shop. The transmission guy said that the transmission is actually built by Ford.
The motor mounts were replaced at 90,000. The front tires wear out quickly, 30,000 miles. The engine idles roughly.
General comments?
We will never buy another Mazda. We had a similar problems with Chysler products, and will never buy another Chrysler...
