1997 Mazda 626 DX review from Puerto Rico
"The car is a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine has a big noise in the valves.
The motor mounts are very soft and the engine always is loose.
The transmission broke at 49,000 miles.
The left front rotor bearing was replaced at 41,000 miles.
The A/C compressor always has an ugly noise.
General comments?
The car is very beautiful, but you need a lot of time and money to have one. In others words, that's the worst vehicle that I have ever had.
