2000 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Very reliable, very bland car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sway bar end links have gone bad twice. I've had to replace the battery twice. There was a misfire while under load at a low RPM, but plugs and wires fixed that.
General comments?
I bought this car mainly because it was cheap, it was a rebuilt vehicle. The interior is very quiet and squeek free with no rattles. It's pretty quick too. I love the car, but, I'm in need of a "cooler" car. I'd sell this car to my best friend it's that good of a car, it's just not my type of car any more.
