1995 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Cute car that needs to be towed uphill."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine light goes on constantly, mechanic told me it was a faulty oxygen sensor 100000mls.
Brakes replaced at 100000mls.
Alternator replaced at 120000mls.
Small oil leek at back of engine started 130000mls.
Currently have some front end problems that need to be checked out, causes car to jerk to the right every time it downshifts.
General comments?
I like the look of my car, it's still sharp after being 9 yrs.old.
Generally disappointed with the pick up of the car. I like to be able to go up hill without a long running start. It really sucks when you're getting on a freeway at rush hour, the worst is when you have the air conditioning on, the car really crawls.
I do think the car is great for space and I really like that the back seats fold down so you can put extra long items in the trunk, and the car does have very nice accessories.
