Power window squeak - fixed by the dealer.
Combination of 2.5L V6 and 5 speed manual gives the car a sporty feel not usually found in this class.
Downside - high compression ratio means that premium gas is recommended.
I purchased my 1999 mazda 626 LX-V6 on November 2004 with 102k kilometers (70k miles).Since that time (now odometer read is 170k kilometers (100k miles) had no problems except plastic radiator overfill container cracked and starter, both replaced. One can feel changing automatic gear from 1st to 2nd one, but this is not a problem and remain the same even after 65k kilometers or 2 years. Otherwise is very fun to drive. Fuel consuming numbers is near those provided in owner's manual. Excellent emission test results!
So far I consider it a good investment.
