Comfortable low budget transportation
Since the car was in my possession, nothing has gone wrong yet.
For it's age the car still looks and handles very well.
Not a trace of rust yet! (Belgium is a rather rainy country)

Comfortable, reliable, better than the current model
Nothing at all. Very reliable.
Very comfortable car and nice to drive.
Engine feels powerful and tourqey for a 1.8 L.
It has a much better suspension than the current (1998-) model which is too stiff.

Nothing at all after about 40,000 KM (+-25,000 miles). Very reliable.
Very nice car, extremely well built and spacious, big boot.
Suspension too firm for a "family car" but replaced for free by Mazda (4 softer shock absorbers). The auto air conditioning should be standard on all models.

Contact measuring water temperature.
1 Cardan rubber.
Battery (after 7 years and 190.000 km).
Positive :
- Very high reliability.
- Great small luxury things like light for contact, light inside going out slowly...
- Good behaviour on roads.
- Not rusty yet.
- 200.000 km without real problems!
Negative :
- Rather thirsty, certainly compared to speed perfomance.

I have made this comment 3 years ago.
I'm still driving the same car, now having more than 300.000 km.
What went wrong between 200.000 and 300.000 km:
- Amortiseurs replaced after 250.000
- Alternator at 260.000
- Brake holders at the back at 290.000
So it's still a very reliable car!!
I liked it so much that our second car now also is a 626 diesel from 1991 as well. But with unknown kilometres (we guess it to have about 400.000 km).
