2001 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"A very lousy choice in a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just got a 2001 Mazda 626 just a couple of days ago, and the O/D off light started flashing on it.
It has a new engine, and a new transmission in it. So the miles on it aren't correct.
I was taking it to the dealership that I got it from, and the car broke down on me on the way there, it made a noise, cut off, and started smoking.
When I looked under it, it was leaking what I'm guessing is transmission fluid.
General comments?
The cars interior is great.
But when the car shifts gears, it jerks.
