1991 Mazda 626 Reviews - Page 4 of 6

Heater fan stopped at 297000 (re wired > works)

Comfy front seats, rear ones are too soft.

Rather cheap spare parts (2wd, 8valve) compared to "better" models (4wd 16valve DOHC)

~10litres / 100km of gas :/

Somewhat too many "Horses" by winter and not enough during the summer.

Spacey front seats and boot, not so spacey rear seats.

Heater went out, has a gas leak if you fill the car too full. burns a little oil, but no major engine repair. had a timing chain put on about 75,000 miles. interior of car is still perfect. no breakdown on the seats, no fading and body has held up well.

This is a very reliable car for the money and will just keep going and going. They are like the entergizer bunny.

When I first bought it, Lower ball joint had to be replace on driver's side twice.

Motor mounts had to be replaced.

Transmission kicks when shifting into reverse or drive, and when changing gears while driving.

Left front wheel bearing went out at 174,200.

Left front control arm had to be replaced.

Both rear wheel cylinders had to be replaced.

Exhaust system fell off on the interstate 2 weeks after I bought it.

Goes out of alignment frequently.

Inner tie rods tend to go bad often.

Engine valve seals leak, causes car to smoke at start.

Transmission leaks.

Brake failure--Master cylinder had to be replaced along with calipers.

Passenger automatic seatbelt motor went out.

Cruise control burned out.

Window and trunk seals leak.

I have had a lot of trouble and costly repairs with this car. On the lighter side, the interior is roomy, and very comfortable.

The car picks up speed well, and can usually outrun most cars.

The motor mounts had to be replaced because of vibration when stopped in drive.

The brake rotors seem to wear and warp every 25000 miles.

The exhaust went in 1997. I replaced that and is still good today.

Replaced the radiator at 175k.

Air conditioning computer or what ever tells the compressor to engage broke. I had to jury-rig a switch for that 5 yrs ago. Still working.

This car is very reliable and has good economy. 27 mpg even with this kind of miles.

The motor has never had anything wrong with it.

The transmission is original.

The interior shows no wear on the seats or carpets. The headliner is starting to deteriorate.

Not very user friendly (no cup-holders)

I am a big guy and the headroom is enough, but not roomy.

The cassette player has broken 3 times.

The body panels and paint are very good to cold weather climates. There is no rust on the car.

Lots of road noise at 65mph.

Hole in the left top side of the gas tank.

CV boot was ripped when I purchased the car.

This car is very cost effective. Gas mileage is much better in this than my previous car, never less than 25 even heavy city driving. The seats are very comfortable and interior is in very good condition. Acceleration is moderate and handling is quite well.
