1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"In good shape except aggravating at times"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My engine light comes and goes. Has been fixed numerous times. Mass air flow sensor was replaced. Right now o.k.
The overdrive off flashes when going up a hill after driving about 80 miles. The engine light will sometimes come on when overdrive off flashes. Around town it seems o.k.
General comments?
I have had my mazada for 10 years and it pretty much has been reliable although the engine light coming on has been frustrating.
Also, during the last six months, the overdrive off flashing has been a problem. The mechanic said I might need to have transmission rebuilt. I haven't wanted to go into that kind of money.
