At about 45,000 miles there was a knocking sound coming from the rear of the car every time I hit a bump. At first is was believed to have been the rear struts and so they were replaced at a cost of $445.00. But the noise was still there. I did a little searching of my own and found out that the rear sway bar bushings were too small for the bar. As a result the bar was knocking around. New bushings that were cheap fixed the problem. Other than that, the car has ran very well.
The car's in-line 4 has a lot more power then what people give it credit for.
Drives very well, and is quite responsive on the road even at higher speeds.
Easy to take care of, very little maintenance required.
I have a 99 626 lx love it.
I have a 1999 Mazda 626 LX too. Mine runs well, it's just when it shifts from 1st gear to second gear it jobs, I don't know what that could be, but besides that it runs fine.
To those persons, there are 3, who wrote praises...
I was just wondering how long it was after you purchased your vehicles that you wrote these complimentary comments.
You are very lucky and fortunate to get a 626 with the manual transmission, they are harder to come by than the automatic sad to say.
