This was the second new Mazda I have
purchased in since 1996. I have had
only good experience with the Mazda
626. It is affordable and DEPENDABLE.
That is why I am in the market for
another one. Stick with something good.

I've had pretty good luck with my
626. Car has very little pep, but
continues to trot along. I can tell
the transmission is going to go soon.
I've not had anything go wrong with
this car outside of very minor things
(power antenna stays up, clock set
button doesn't work, one dash light is
out). No big deal. Fit and finish
are pretty bad on the interior, but
I'm a pretty big guy and admittedly
rough on things.

It was a well running car until it
reached 70,000 miles. Lots of
problems after this point. I did not
abuse this car, I had the oil changed
and the car checked every 3,000 miles.
Had to replace transmission. Every
year the coolant bottle cracks,
replaced twice under warranty and
every year there after. Would
recommend to lease this car, not to
buy it-too many problems.

Yah, I KNOW that I have more than 90000
mi on a 1999 626, But does that mean
that I should not be upset that my car
has been in the shop more than I have
had it in my possesion?! Not only did I
change the transmission, but the
enginge. Oh! And it gets better, the
car is currently at the shop(Im still
paying a car note monthly!) because the
check engine light has been on forever.
I am paying for the sensor to be
changed, and was told if that doesn't
work the dealership will have to order
me a new chip! Basiclly I have replaced
the entire car. If I decide to sell it,
its not worth even close to what I've
put into this.

At times I wish I could buy another car
only because I like to have a new car
all the time (but I'm not rich) Maybe
its not as stylish as others but its
not a bad looking car I have spruced it
up a bit with a spoiler, added wood
trim around dash, radio, shifter also
updated the grill with the 2000 model
grill (BIGGER Mazda logo) and added
some chrome molding around front and
rear bumpers and it looks great. Next
a nice set of rims and that should be
all. Otherwise no real complaints,
replaced timing belt, brakes and 2
sensors (normal stuff)

when having the tranny flushed you
cannot change the filter out unless you
take the whole transmission out my
transmission is out at only 78,000
miles and to repair will cost half the
value

I bought my 1999 626 new in 1999. At
only 50 miles I had to bring it in
because it needed an entirely new
timing belt system. It only got worse
after that. My car was in and out of
the shop so often that I could have
claimed under the FL lemon law if it
had been in the shop one more day. I
think part of the problem was the
inadequate dealer service shop and bad
luck. I had bought this car based on
its reliability. I am trading
tomorrow and I won't miss my car.

I bought this car from a used car
dealership about 2 months back. Its
been simply great! I bought the car
with abt 50K miles on it...have
already put on close to 6K miles in
less than 2 months and I must say its
been pure joy all the way!

A wonderfully reliable workhorse.
Never give it a thought, just get in
and go. Comparisons to
Accord/Camry/Etc. Are obvious given
the price point, but I argue the 626,
at least the LX V6, does it better and
with tremendous amounts of style or
the competition.
Everytime I stroll towards the car in
a crowded parking lot--I never see a
prettier package without spending
$20,000 more! It is a real looker!
With the leather/moonroof/power-out-
the-yingyang combo, you would be
pressed to find as well heeled a car
for double the money!
