1992 Mazda 626 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Outstanding"
General comments?
I have read some comments on the Mazda MX6.
I own a Mazda 626 V6, which is basically the same as a MX6, identical running gear etc. I felt sorry for the gentleman who had major problems with his MX6, but you must have really bought a big lemon.
I have had my Mazda going on 4 years now, and have replaced brake pads, spark plugs and a water pump (unless you have a Saturday arvo free send it to your mechanic).
I replaced my pump with one arm in a cast and a very patient and obliging wife (she took instruction well and had grease and oil all over her). I think she thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and was very pleased with herself.
Anyway, this is by far the best and most comfortable car I have ever owned. It has never let me down, and the only electrical problem I had was the antenna stopped working.
Everything about this car is class, and I have owned about 25 cars since I started driving. I highly recommend any MX6 or 2.5 V6 626 to anyone.
