1998 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was great when I first got it.
At 90000 I had a new transmission put in.
Since then I am always fixing stuff and can't drive too fast for fear that if will break down.
Friends with the same year 1998 626 have installed multiple transmissions in their Mazda 626's.
And eventually gave their car away.
General comments?
The 91 Mazda 626 that I had ran perfectly until I sold it at 176000 miles.
