1995 Mazda 626 LX-V6 review from North America
"Great car if you like manual transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear disk brakes calipers were replaced at 80,000 and 200,000 miles.
Water pump replaced at 140,000.
Tachometer started to fail at 198,000.
General comments?
Great car! After 200,000 miles still original clutch!
5 speed manual gearbox is superb.
Changing oil every 5,000. Never had to add oil between changes, even after 200,000, despite the fact that often rev the engine over 5,000 rpm. 2,5 V6 is the best V6 I've ever driven.
Will definitely go for Mazda 6, V6, 5 5 speed.
