1990 Mazda 626 LX review from North America

"Stupendously Agile, Will last Forever"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Besides the fact the air conditionong doesn't work (no problem sunroof is grrrreat and how often do you use air conditioning in Canada), though I have found out that putting winyl tape before installation will fix the problem once and for all!!! (will do if becessary), also Suspension a very little noise in sharp turns, but apparently, it is a missing Rubber spring seat!, so whatever needs to be fixed is no really big deal.

General comments?

Stupendously agile car, I am flabergasted that a car with over 300 000 klicks on it drives this silently and this smoothly, fuel economy is pretty good.

I have to admit at first I was more or less looking for a Camry or a Jetta, but wow have Mazda impressed me, this car has not one touch of rust, and is a nice surprise.

Although at first I was a bit curious by the plethora of options on the car (sports mode, gear hold...) I am getting used to it, but it is obvious that it will need a little bit more attention, the engine (2.2l) feels a bit too powerful for the car and tends to be a bit annoying Torque wise, (feels like a MAxima), IF I am not carefull, I can easily rear end someone by pressing too hard on the gas.

This too takes time getting used to (pressing smoothely) I do regular checkups, oil changes and engine cleansings, liquids, to keep the car running and this is a car that every mechanic tells me will never die if maintained properly.
