1998 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"The car is fine except for the transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 98' Mazda 626 is in the transmission shop for the third time in 13 months needing a rebuild. I paid $2055.00 the first time, plus rental car. The shop fixed it the second time. This time they want $2200.00 to fix. If I didn't still owe $5000.00 on it I would junk it. I'm very unhappy to find out that this a ongoing problem with this model.
