1994 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Sucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fist thing, if you're buying a car for the first time don't get a Mazda 626. I had previously been told by my piers about the transmission fault in these vehicles. Since I bought this car in April I have spend a whole lot of money into it with accessories . I had to get the brake and rotors changed cause it kept knockin at high speed, the muffler too had to be changed. to my dismay until today, I am experiencing some shift in gear as you accelerate. I think it's the transmission problem because the hold light keeps flashing on and off. According to the manual, there's supposed to be an electrical problem with the trans-axle. It advised to go to a Mazda dealer. Went to Mazda today and the son of a gun over there tells me I need a new transmission without even looking at the car. He says it'll cost me 2600 dollars. He goes like if I want it checked I'd have to pay 75.00 for diagnostic. how stupid does he think I am?
I should pay 75$ just to be told that I need a transmission that cost 2600$
MAZDA SUCKS.
