Expensive to Repair!
I got my Mazda when it had about 77,000 miles on it and it now has over 180,000. The engine is in great condition, but I have had to put quite a lot of money into repair in the suspension system. One of my biggest complaints about Mazdas are the cost of the parts--in my experience they are upwards of three times the cost of your standard domestic car. My 626 has served me well, but when it has needed repair, it cost a lot! My advice to those purchasing a Mazda: Find a good mechanice who knows Mazdas well.
No better car for the money
My family bought this car when it was new in 1991. I was 7 years old at the time. 12 years and 143,000 miles later the only things wrong with this car are stupid mistakes made by myself and my do-it-yourself dad. This was my first car and I had it for 2 years until I got a 97 Blazer, which my mom totalled. I had more problems in 6 months with the Blazer than 12 years in the Mazda. I'm still driving it back and forth to college (about 300 miles) and it shows no signs of slowing down.
overall 9.x
I've owned this car for 11 years and the only major problem was the A/C and dealing with some minor problems with that. This car gets excellent fuel economy, overall over 30mpg. The only other problem was with the sound system. It may have been my fault, blasting the music a bit too loud but i blew 2 out of the four factory speakers about one year ago. I recently replaced all of the speakers and all is fine. Otherwise, no other complaints.
I dislike my vehicle
I really dislike the mazda 626. I have had to replace many parts recently and had to buy a whole new engine even. This car is not for those who intend to go fast. It has no safety features and is very unreliable. Mine breaks down frequently, most of the time for a few minutes. Once it broke down in a fast food resturant drive through.
