1988 Mazda 626 un known review from North America
"Takes a lick-en and keeps on tick-en"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burns oil and the rate of 1 quart per week.
Seats are falling apart due to what I do.
Engine lacks the power that I had read about.
Performance parts are hard to find.
General comments?
After installing the largest tires I could get under the car I can now take it off-road on fire roads and back roads and safely rally it without destroying the undercarriage or engine.
