2000 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced rear sway bar bushings, timing belt, front axles at 100K. I hope to only do same at 200K.
General comments?
The 626 has been a great reliable car. More fun to drive than my previous Camry. Much better handling and while no screamer is prety quick. 16sec quarter mile times and 140 mph top speed. Comfortable on long trips. Cheap to own and drive.
