Common Sense
Zuke, 09/02/2004
1994 Mazda 626 LX V6 4dr Sedan
We bought this car when it already
over 10 years old and about to crest
150K miles. So far we've replaced the
front tires, the negative battery
lead, and a headlight bulb. It has
incredible pickup and a good, stiff
suspension. Body and panels are still
tight and well maintained. Last owner
obviously took care of it. If you
bought a used car that already had …
damage to it, do you think it will
somehow be all better because you own
it now? It still has years of abuse,
so don't judge it on how the last
owner did not maintain it well.

This car stinks

1994 Mazda 626 DX 4dr Sedan
We have had nothing but trouble since we bought this car. First the transmission went. Then it was the water pump. Then all 4 shocks and ball joints needed to be replaced. We only had to replace the front 2 ball joints. The engine in this car feels like a piece of junk. So far it has died twice on the highway and once at home.

Trustworthy car

1994 Mazda 626 ES V6 4dr Sedan
I had owned two cars before and this is
the best. The engine is very smooth,
proving the V6 power, double overhead
camshifts with 24 valves renders a
smooth drive I have never experienced
with most of the cars I have driven,
except BMW 324i. The automatic
transmission is smooth at high speeds
and the engine is unbelievably silent
at very high speeds too. The brakes are …
excellent and relaible like a rock.
There is lot of room inside the car and
five 6 ft guys can sit in, comfortably.
It never gave me any repairs
surprisingly, considering my poor
maintenance. One helluva car I fell in
love with.

A good relaible car

1994 Mazda 626 ES V6 4dr Sedan
A very good and reliable car, never let
me down ever. Lucky to have the
machine, smooth and silent, V6 zooms
like a rocket and room for a whole
family. Build is sturdy and comfy. No
repairs to date, but I do maintain with
regular oil changes and checks. $20 per
three months and 626 is your friend for
life.
