1995 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Repair bill nightmare. Will not purchase any Mazda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator replaced by dealer at time of purchase.
Valve cover Gasket replaced at 110,000 miles.
O/D light started flashing at 112,000 miles.
Check Engine light on at 112,000 miles.
Front tires worn from new to tread ware indicators in just over 10,000 miles.
Transmission failed at 123,114 miles.
General comments?
Gas Mileage not great considering the anemic performance.
Engine shakes and stutters at stop in drive.
I wish I would have found this site prior to purchase. All of the problems listed with the A/T are happening.
Only item that performs well is the A/C.
