1986 Mazda 626 GTi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It'll need a new exhaust next MOT. Leaking head gasket. New clutch slave cylinder. Plus the usual break pads etc.
Only bit of rust is at the front of the sun roof!?
General comments?
Brought it 3 years ago with 160,000 miles on the clock for £800. It's still going strong at 202,000 miles!!! Will happily cruise on motorways at 100+mph, with plenty of poke left in it.
Q : When will it die??
