1986 Mazda 626 GT review from North America
"A sporty, reliable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The master computer went out in 1988 and was replaced under warranty.
The driver power window stopped working and was fixed in 1995 and again in 1999.
The power door locks stopped working on the passenger door in 1999.
The Driver seat cloth seams are separating.
General comments?
Car has been very reliable, no maintenance beyond routine service. Bought it new and was very impressed with all the features and performance for the price.
