General comments?
Mazda 626 GLX 2.0 Automatic metallic light green first owner 1984 purchased second owner 1987.
Good long distance car.
Reliability stored 5 years battery off, new battery started first time.
Minimal running cost.
Good lively performance from the 2.0lt engine, high level of comfort, good load puller when needed.
When they designed the 626 in 1984 the low body line gave it a feeling of being a wolf in sheep’s clothing family car or frustrated sports car.
Good road handling allows you to throw it into corners and know you will come out the other side.
Likes to be driven and cruses on motorways.
