1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Good car, but didn't go beyond 120000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission seal leak @ 115000. Would cost too much to replace it along with coolant leaks in radiator & water pump & timing belt going bad about the same time.
General comments?
It drives very well. Handles well. Brakes well. Accelerates well. Nice extras with power seats, moon roof etc.
