2000 Mazda 626 ES review from North America
"Decent Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced battery at 56000 miles (after 7 years)
General comments?
This car has been reliable overall. Sometimes transmission shifts roughly between 1st and second gear in city driving. Turning overdrive off fixes this issue.
Still have original tires and brakes, but will need replacing in a few months, but for 7 years, not bad.
Interior is still in new condition.
Car handles well.
Overall, I'm happy with the car. Hopefully the transmission will not give me any problems.
