1991 Mazda 626 GLX Station review from Netherlands
"Comfortable, but expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to spend NLG 1800 (=EUR 800) to fix the brakes only a couple of months after purchasing it.
Small oil leakage. Unfixable.
No other big investments. Regular investments: tyres and batteries.
Piston blew at 360000.
General comments?
Comfortable car. Much better road behaviour than the Kadett I owned, although it was pretty expensive in diesel, drinking about 7.5 liters per 100km (1/13).
