1985 Mazda 626 Super Deluxe review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap and very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gasket on radiator cap had to be replaced.
Right hand side rear wheel bearings had to be replaced.
Right hand rear shock absorber has worn extremely.
Plastic moulded mudflaps scrape on low surfaces.
General comments?
Lacks power on acceleration, but powers along once you get going. The manual choke in this model has great deal to do with this problem!!!
Lots of room; very comfortable.
