1990 Mazda 626 GT review from North America
"A turbocharged high class sleeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The axles have been replaced by the previous owner at 145,466 miles.
Sunroof sticks approximately once every ten sliding operations.
The engine burns a small amount of oil when accelerating fast.
General comments?
The GT 626 is extremely versatile in terms of power. Although it is an automatic, the shifter is equipped with a "hold" button, that lets you manually shift gears at the flip of a switch.
Another Switch on the dash allows for alternation between Economy mode and power mode.
Turbo blow off valve gives a head turning "psssht" after accelerator is released at higher speeds.
