1998 Mazda 626 ES review from North America
"Awesome!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet except some interior replacements. The sun visor was trashed and the headrest had the inner bar sticking into it. The drivers side Bose speaker was completly blown out. Got replacements for these, the speaker at a Mazda dealer and the other two from a junkyard.
General comments?
This car is aweome. Zoom Zoom! Very fast car and the ride and drive makes driving fun again. Good interior for the most part except the roof design isn't great quality. I've been able to fix it, but I may get it redone by a professional. Everything else besides that is high quality. It feels like I'm driving on air on this car, it's great handling on turns, great suspension. Nice pickup on the V6 and great amount of power. Has better pickup then a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord by far.
