"I like it because it is immortal!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The Hatchback is stained under the rear window when I bought it.

Seats have started to be not comfort.

The rear suspension is weak and may stain from the upper shock absorber connection.

General comments?

The car is very reliable.

It is not costly to keep it.

Today is January the 15th of 2007 and I still driving Mazda 626 LX 1983 hatchback!

Yes it is twenty four years old!

The 1.6 engine is still standard!

Hi, I also own a 1983 1.6 626, but mine is the 1st gen with RWD. What is your top speed? Mine is getting to the top of the counter; 180km/h fully loaded and with the windows rolled down. I have only removed the fan and its driving that fast. I think it may get 190 with only me and with the windows rolled up.

Also how is your consumption? I get 12/13 km/l in the city.

Take care, bye.

Because it is only 1.6L (~100CID~), my carburetor and timing are optimized for performance, that's why it gives me only 9-11 km/L (~23.5mpg~)
