1993 Mazda 626 ES review from North America
"Not recommended!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew twice, first time when I bought car and last time this month.
Started to beep when I turn car on and then every 30 minutes again beeps 5 time in row. Asked Mazda dealer what could be reason he didn't know!!
I had to change breaks, shacks, windshield, sunroof, rear suspension, transmission gone at 200.000 km, all tires, battery, both gaskets, alternator, etc...
General comments?
V6 should be more powerful, transmission shift hard even after replacing same.
Eats gas, but doesn't deliver power!
