Review
This was my second 626; the first had 200K when I sold it to buy this one. It now has 140K. Its weight to thrust ratio is great (4 cylinder 5 speed), so it makes my wife's Protege 5 feel like a dog. Sure, it's starting to make noises and doesn't ride as nice, but it's paid for and gives me 30 mpg in the city. I'm driving this thing until the wheels fall off.

Every replacement part for this car is
expensive. Struts $235/each, O2 sensor
$215, temp/fan sensor $65 each, rebuilt
tranny $2400. Don't bother with this
car. I had to put in all those parts
plus a distributor at 93000 miles. The
paint is severely faded.

Bought my 626 ES cronos in june 94 with
ex. warranty 6/120k for parts. The 1st
few yrs I had lots of little problems
all under warranty. Don't like the
automatic because it broke at 60k
miles. It shifted hard into 2nd and
early into 4th. Never had problems with
ac, engine, frame, electronics. Rear
calipers got stuck from corrosion and
front springs both broke from corrosion
but fixed under warranty, etc. Last 4
yrs, was trouble free. Things fixed
never came back to haunt me. To be
fair, the later yr 626's were better
reliability. I had more problems with
service trying to convince them of
problems. I spoke to the manager and
things got fixed.

I know Ford heavily influenced Mazda in '93 when
this piece was made, which is why I had to replace
the distributor, and now have to replace the
transmission because IT WONT GO IN REVERSE!!! A
popular problem with this car. If it's an AT with
100,000+ DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!!

This is my 1st car i ever own, so I
don't have any car to compare with..
The speaker is great, I don't even
think of the replacement of the
speaker. I like the power sunroof and
power windows, plenty of legs space
for driver. Good acceleration (4 cyl,
5 speed manuel). Engine is a bit noisy.
I hope this car goes fine until i
graduate.

At 100K the engine developed a ticking
valve noise. Replaced HLA's and Oil
pump >>> didn't fix the problem.
Decided to just drive it until the
engine Kaputs... It is now 214k and
the engine still ticks when it iddles
too long...I guess it doesn't bother
me too much other than being a
cosmetic thing. Have replaced muffler
system (cheap), brakes, and an intake
air gasket that was causing a poor
iddle.
Guess what?
Stuff will break on your car, but
hopefully your car was built on a
Tuesday so that it won't be a Lemon.
Oh yea, Consumer Reports said this car
was really bad---- go figure--- at
214k I think it is a great car for the
money.

I bought this car new in '92 and it has
been great for me. I has been to Alaska
and back, but not without problems. I
have replaced the muffler 2x and most of
the exhaust system, and the a/c
compressor. Doors do not like frozen
moisture and keys can bend easily. It
gets 34MPG hyw and it loves hills (man
trans)Good driver leg room. At 160k the
paint is beginning to wearoff. When I
replace it I hope to find a car just as
good.
