Mazda 626

Reliable car

Advantages: High MPG, Reliable car
Disadvantages: none

Like the most japanese cars, this one also is a Solid car. Good for a small sized family. It runs quite good, good handling brakes. Also fantastic standard extra's although this might be a ancester of the new 6 series. Some disads: side panels located behind the rear passenger windows are large and have proven a little awkward while trying to reverse. This is particularly so in the newer 626 styles. The older saloon and hatchback styles did not ...
...greater view. Compared to say the Ford or Vauxhall mid-range family size cars, the rear window is not extremely large which again makes reversing more of a chore. Getting the vehicle serviced is not necessarily cheap (approximately £100-225 depending on type of service) every 6 months, the lack of breakdowns I have had made this a worth-while investment and gave me great peace of mind. My mechanics confirmed several times that the only major achilles ...

Review of Mazda 626 2.0 GXi

Mazda Cruise

Advantages: comfortable
Disadvantages: A bit to long in the length

Well I've bought a Mazda 626, six months ago and I must say that there had been no problems with the car. It's the old style M reg and its georgous. The fuel consumption is very good considering its a 2 litre. It has all the modcons such as, power steering, Fuel injection, ABS, Twin airbags, air conditioning electric windows and mirros on both front and back doors and many other gadgets. The seats have been moulded so that you sit very comfortable ...

Review of Mazda 626 2.0 GSi

ALMOST PERFECT (IT FELT LIKE DRIVING ON ICE)

Advantages: Excellent Build Quality
Disadvantages: Steering & No Stereo Controls On The Seats

...car we stumbled upon a mazda garage, greeted by a cheerful salesman we sat down and had a chat. The 626 was actually inside the showroom so we could have a look round, the car was nice spacious and comfortable so we decided to go ahead and buy one. We took a test drive and nearly mounted a roundabout, THE STEERING WAS JUST TOO LIGHT it was unresponsive, it felt like we were driving on ice, not being put off by that we decided to purchase a 626 Sport ...
...However we wrote to the mazda garage about all of these minor defects and they replied but we thought nothing would happen, so a couple of years later we had to change car and we chose to test the new 6 WHAT A CAR, everything that we wrote to Mazda HQ about was corrected (READ MY REVIEW) ...

Review of Mazda 626 2.0 GXi TD

One of the best car in reliabilities

Advantages: Reliable, good road handling, smooth ride, perfect motorway cruiser
Disadvantages: Apart from expensive parts, nothing else

Mazda 626 is our family car and I pesonnely bought this car when me and my father went to a local garage. There were lot of other second hand cheap cars pricing ranges from £500-£2000 but when my sight found this car I couldn't choose any other model avilable there. This mazda was a J reg 626 model and engine size of 1.8. It had an outstanding look because of its shape and maroon shining colour even after ten years of it being on the road two years ...
...it too far. I couldn't find any fault in it and still we have it and every time we take it for a MOT it passes the test straight away. I love driving it motorways. If you are looking for a second hand cheap and reliable car just go for Mazda. My favourite model is 626. ...

Review of Mazda 626 1.8 GXi 

An Economical Masterpiece

Advantages: Good Economy, great drive & excellent features
Disadvantages: Not the prettiest piece of machinery

...and ultimately win a 1997 Mazda 626. E-bay is probably the last place that any sane person would look for a car; fortunately I lost my sanity some time ago so it became my first port of call. Ultimately I spied upon this car with two minutes left and without hesitation I slapped a £750 maximum bid, half expecting the price to skyrocket out of my range. Fortunately the e-bay gods conspired in my favour and granted me a cut down price of £690 for something ...
...engine that has the typical Mazda brute strength and speedy versatility. In terms of storage the car is equipped with a large boot space which can easily fit 3 dogs 4 guinea pigs and a couple of average sized iguanas. A comfortable interior makes driving and passengering (if such a word exists) a relative pleasure, it's got nothing fancy but what do you expect for £690? The 1997 lxi comes with electric windows and a manual sunroof; it also includes ...
