i got this car in mid-september with 115,000 miles on it. i haven't even put 2 thousand miles on it yet and the transmission is dead. do not get the automatic.
Condition Declines Rapidly After 50k
My Mazda 626, like many others, required a new, $2000 transmission at about 80,000 miles. I have always kept the vehicle well maintained and was saddened to watch the over all condition and quality of the car decline reapidly after about 50k miles. The new transmission was the icing on the cake. I also had to replace the instrument panel, several valves, and a faulty exhaust system. Mazda North America is unresponsive to its customers. I give Mazda a D for quality.

1st 50k miles excellent car then next 20k just average. mine use to be quite but its noisy now, even with on time maintenance. also had to change 2 o2 sensors,250$ brake job and 300$ on new mufflers. over all ,an average car but very reliable to date.
"How do I replace it?"
I bought this car used from a friend with 92,000 who properly maintained it. Ten years later we're at 312,000 and going strong (we blow some oil through, but, not too much - it runs G R E A T!. I drove it to New Orleans, then Iowa City (from New Jersey) last summer, and averaged 32 mpg w/ a/c on. The 2.0 5 speed is a good combination, very fun to drive.
My experience has been very positive.
I bought my 1995 Mazda LX 626 in 1997 when it had 11000 miles on it. I still have it and now it has 160000 miles. Although I have heard of others having transmissions problems with automatic I must have gotten lucky as I have had 0 problems with the trasmission. I have always had it serviced regularly: timing belts, slick50, fluids, etc. Both front axles have had to be replaced but that is the largest repair to date. I do have a lifter clicking noise. I have had it for a year or so now. I get the heavier weight oil put in on an oil change and the noise will go away until I get close to the next oil change.
