Well I've got to tell you, this is a
well made car, my 929 DOHC hardtop is
a 1990 model, it's done 114000km's on
some pretty rough outback Australian
roads and it has'nt got a rattle or
squeek at all, now that's got to say
some thing about the build quality!The
engine runs like a swiss watch and the
seats are as comfy as they come, it
could do with more head room but … thats
my only gripe with an otherwise
exellent car that can be picked up for
a steal!

A working man's BMW--the 929S is
sporty, sleek, nimble and very
reliable. All that for ~$20K (vs BMW5
series $30+K). I regret that I must
think about "moving on" after 12
years. If I had the time I would do a
complete restoration but, alas, I am
still a working man who needs a car for
the daily commute.

1990 Mazda 929 S 4dr Sedan
Ok when new, after 4 years many repairs
needed. Brakes always wear out. Car
sits in garage put interior plastic
falls off. Rubber stripping around
door comes off, light in radio dim,
maintenance extremely high. Do not buy
this car it dry rots.

I've only put 15,000 mi on in 3 yrs. But have enjoyed every mile. Lots of power and comfort. It has 2.85 gears in rear end and 32 mpg highway w/ summer time gas is a constant! So far I've replaced brakes and $60 starter from e- bay. Nice car and reliable so far .
