1991 Mazda 626 MX-6 review from North America
"We think it's a cute car for a teen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We bought the car for our daughter and it was on sale from a private owner. He sold it to us for $500.00 and we thought it was a good buy for a first car. When we test drove it, it didn't seem to have any problems other than a knock from the suspension. Little did we know that the transmission was not going to shift into 2nd 3rd or 4th gear until we paid for it and drove off. Well thinking we still had a steel, we took it home and can't understand why the (hold) light is blinking. The car will shift into 1st, and then the light starts to blink. Is this something electrical, or something more serious?
I think I know what the knock noise is in the steering/suspension system.
The car does smoke a little. I think the car just needs some tender love and care, it seems like it will be a good car to keep.
General comments?
Great paint on the car---bright bright red.
Interior is still good. Even came with a JVC cd player.
