2000 Mazda 626 GLX review from Turkey
"A Japanese sedan is always a logical choice, not an emotional one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Essentially nothing.
Only regular service, including timing belt at 100000km.
General comments?
Suspension comfort is average, gets much better as the speed increases.
Noise level average also. Heater/air conditioner fan extremely noisy on 3rd and 4th speed.
We don't have VW/Audi class dashboard plastics in here.
Engine is excellent. Good performance when needed, very economic when driven to be so. I can reached 1000 km. with one tank with an average speed of 85/105 km. That gives us an average consumption of something like 6.1-6.2 lt./100 km.
