2001 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"This is the worst car I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission problems is not fixable.
We purchased a used 626 Mazda 2001 with less than 48,000 miles in Oct. 2005. We were concern about the miles and my son said we should buy the extended warrant. After 2 weeks we took the car into the dealers to have the noise checked out, they found nothing. January 2006 the car stopped moving and we had it towed to the dealers. They took it to the transmission shop in town to fix the problem. My son said it was still not right. It's back at the shop again in March. Now their giving us the run around on what is wrong. First they said it was a hose leek and motor mounts. We took it to the dealers to see if they could determine the problem, and they thought it was the turf converter or something like that. Again we are without a car.
General comments?
We like the style and make of the body of the car.
