1993 Mazda 626 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Nice cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belts slipping on supercharger unit had to replace all belts( there is a lot of them)
Back calipers replaced
Passenger electric window works, but only from controller on drivers side.
No problems with transmission yet but am aware that these transmission can be faulty.(I have changed transmission oil every 10000 kilometers which helps
General comments?
The car is comfortable, reliable and economical. I get 40 miles per gallon more on motorways. If you are happy to cruise along its great, but it would not win any races. I intend driving it into ground so I won't be changing it for a while. Starts on a frosty morning first time.Supercharger unit gives great torgue for towing.Lovely whine off the supercharger unit. Very quiet for a diesel.
