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.
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.
Got a Mazda 626 2.0i 16 Estate (1992) as an import from UK and the car is really good. Its like new. Performance, extra features like cruise control etc make me like this model. Will stick to Mazda. Performing well in Zimbabwe!!!
I've just bought a 626 16v I gt 7 seater. and tell you what I can't wait to drive it. it seamed very quick off the mark. Kids are gonna love it! Happy motoring.
