This car runs great, when it is running. It idles abit rough though. The ride is a bit rough, but handling is crisp. Front tires tend to lose traction on wet roads even with good quality tires. Good feel of the road, decent fuel economy.
The car is 16 years old.
I hope you didn't pay more than $2.99 for it!
My 626 is 15 years old. I had bought it through my work a salvage yard with a title and started driving it back and forth to work racking up almost 70 miles a day. The only thing that has gone wrong was the cooling fan. It is a nice gold color, but does have some fading. My waxing it every week, although doesn't help it. I have managed to beat newer cars with it a few times I tried. Just from light to light. I love it and intend to get another car just to put her up and restore her to the way she looked brand new.
My 1989 Mazda 626 LX had the starter go at 75,000 miles.
It is now 17 years old as of September 2005.
No other problems with it.
Great car. What a deal.
Paid $1500 for it a year ago and the starter is the only thing that went.
