2001 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Would not buy another one :("
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light keeps coming on, showing O2 sensors or cat. Have replaced both O2's and the cat, and it still comes on after about a week pointing to the same things.
Transmission went out (CD4E Ford made) 144000 miles.
General comments?
My 3rd Mazda and I put a lot of miles on my cars and keep all the fluids changed ahead of times. Really disappointed in this car because of the O2 errors and the transmission going. I had 310000 on my 323 and quit driving it because of rust only.
