2000 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Unfortunately for me and others, this car is a money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out in 2003, Starter needed to be replace in 2004, Transmission is back on the fritz in 11/2006. Rear Passenger door needs a new power lock motor. I have replaced 2 of five motor mounts. Top motor mount needs to be replaced now in 11/2006. The a/c filter has been blowing out of the vents in large pieces. All of 2005 and 2006
General comments?
I do love this car's body and design. Interior of car is satisfactory.
