1998 Mazda 626 LXV6 review from North America
"Excellent Value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems so far!
General comments?
A nice looking well designed car, I recommend the 5 speed to anyone who cares about performance. TCS and ABS are effective when driving in bad weather. Good firm suspension and handles well. Fun to drive. Only complaint is when driving on the highway, you almost wish for a 6th gear, the 5 speed is a much closer ratio than my camry and at 80mph, your nearing 4000rpm (redline=7000):)
