1997 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Stay away from this line at all costs.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
God, it's been so bad first, I had to replace the throttle body,by the time I was through with that, and a tune up, my bill, was $1100.00, two converters, the h2o sensors, three times, (I only run 93 octane) just and expensive car to maintain, replaced transmission, CV joints few times, car still has no power and it's a dog on fuel.
General comments?
All this car is, is a glorified ford escort,, biggest waste of money, just the thought of it makes me hate this car more..
