1985 Mazda 626 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Built to take whatever is dished out, an amazing little car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This little coupe has taken a real hammering from my nephew and it never skipped a beat.
The only things needing replacing were the CV joints, timing belt and battery.
The only thing I hated was the constant bonging of all the warning gadgets telling you the lights are on, the seatbelt is not done up etc..
General comments?
This little 2 door coupe was fully optioned and it was punished during the time it was in our family, it never let us down once.
Frankly I'm amazed they could build a car so strong.
It never failed to start and was a pleasure to drive.
