1994 Mazda 626 LX Cronos review from North America
"Excellent buy if bought in good shape"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gaskets leaking oil into the spark plugs causing major hesitation.
Cost $800 to replace intake manifold, head gaskets, spark plugs and all wiring.
General comments?
The car is responsive and quick. Pulls well through all four gears and seems to want to push the 130mph barrier.
