1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"This car gets the job done"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My trans-axle boot busted open at 134,000 miles.
The engine started making a ticking sound at 132,000 miles.
The car shakes horribly while at a dead stop.
General comments?
This car has an inconsistent performance. Sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow.
However this car is comfortable and reliable.
