1986 Mazda 626 review from North America
"This is one of the best cars I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the fuel injectors went to crap.
Engine was missing badly when I got it it was misfiring, changed spark plugs cap and rotor. that fixed it.
Emergency brake cable snapped; $50 to replace.
General comments?
This car is really fast for a 4 cylinder.
Especially when the turbo kicks in.
It starts in the cold just as easily as it starts in 100 degree weather.
This thing never fails to put me back in my seat.
The turning radius is unbelievable. I got her to turn around on a 1 lane without having to back up.
The bucket seats are really comfortable.
Overall I LOVE this car and would recommend it to anyone; although nothing is better than the 87 Nissan 200SX I had before it.
