Great Car 96 626ES

When I bought this car in 1999, it had 60K miles. It's performed great and now at 345,000 miles it's still a performer! Other than routine maintenance (timing belt, oil/Valvoline, brakes, struts, radiator, etc.) it's never given problems and the fuel economy nears 30mpg. Its 5-spd manual transmission has never failed and its clutch I've replaced once.

This is my 2nd 626, and I am a believer. Never had a problem that wasn't my own fault.

Had it for three years. Changed the oil, the tires, filled it with gas and it has run like a dream without a single problem. Fun to drive, handles well. I have a 5-speed and that has made it even better to drive and with the gas mileage. I'd get another in a flash.

I've had my Mazda for 5.5 years. With the 4 and the manual, acceleration is average but fuel economy is great (32 in mixed driving, higher on the highway). The FR680s I had wore away in 20K, but the Potenzas I replaced them with have been much better. Coming up on my 1st brake job at 70K. Otherwise, aside from oil changes and a new muffler, it's been great and trouble free.
