1998 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"It drives well, but the problems I've already had make me a little nervous"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A week after buying the car, the battery died.
The switch for the headlights and high beams broke immediately after I bought the car.
The idle speed will randomly drop very low and the car shakes like it's about to stall, but pulls out of this after several seconds.
General comments?
The car seems to handle well and have a nice overall ride.
The problems that I had within a couple weeks of buying the car make me nervous.
