1992 Mazda 626 2.0i 16 estate review from UK and Ireland
"Go on, be different"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems I've had with the car was I had to have the brake discs skimmed, although now my problem is more serious as the head gasket has gone and I get silly quotations off garages to fix the problem.
Body wise, the good point is the only rust is from vandal damage, front wing and estate rear door, shame.
General comments?
For an estate it's quite understated and performance-wise it's pretty quick off the mark, cruise control is a bonus, especially on motorway journeys.
The fact that it is also a 7-seater is useful as I have three growing boys.
