1997 Mazda 626 GXi review from UK and Ireland
"A good all rounder, at home on the motorway"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had both front shocks go.
Both front discs and a hydraulic problem for the tappets that came down to a faulty oil pump.
General comments?
A very good car for the +35K miles a year I do. Comfortable on long journeys but not for those that like to go round corners.
