1990 Mazda 626 DX review from North America
"Good car for beginner."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The biggest problem that I received was the motor likes to burn oil.
I also have had some problems with the shifter bushings, they make the shifting really sloppy.
The interior is holding up well over the cars life time.
General comments?
This car pulls off the line really well for a four cylinder.
I have done some mods like drilled holes in the air box, and added straight 2" from front to back of the car with a cherry bomb muffler system.
Which makes the car rumble, have had no problems with the cops yet.
