1988 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Part of the family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basically, if you want the windows to go up or down, it takes a few tries.
Transmission usually slips in 2nd gear.
Passenger exterior door handle is broken.
A/C doesn't blow cold air.
General comments?
This car is amazing. I love it because not too many people have it. I have not had a major problem yet. It starts instantly every time. Very well built.
