1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Sell it to your ex-wife"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Same old complaint OD light started flashing a week after purchased, check engine light soon after, replaced transmission at 82,000 5 miles later od light again 6 miles shifted from 1st to 4th. transmission failed car laid up for 2 weeks, idle control blew after 1 hour after picking car up, hard gas pedal, shifter button sometimes doesn't like to be pushed in.
SOLUTION: contemplating suicide, might take out a post office? will decide soon.
General comments?
This car is a serious piece of cow dung.
