Used 1993 Mazda 929 Consumer Reviews
929 - Good choice
179,000 miles and no sign of dying. I am a salesman and drive around most of Oklahoma for work. My 929 looks good and rides well. The Nissan Altima it replaced was reliable also, but was a stagecoach compared to the smooth V-6 and luxury ride. Quirks include: smallish trunk, no glove box, no tilt wheel. Not deal breakers. I get 22 MPG on regular unleaded and don't spend much time in the shop. When necessary ... parts can be high. Rarely are they necessary - in 6 years I've replaced the starter, belts, 2 shocks,timing belt, spark plug wires and had the tranny worked on (about $1500). Of course, tires and other soft parts also. Ain't bad for the 100,000 miles I've had it.
My Best Car Ever
Still a good looking car. So much fun to drive. Power to spare and it just sounds like a sports car. A little small in the trunk but a great ride in the back seat also. Unfortunately I now have a drive shaft universal problem and the only way to repair is to pay Mazda $1050 for a whole new drive shaft and universal.
it is a very rare car but comfort
i got it one year ago. i had changed its air flow assembly, and knock senser by mistake. it is fast and very quiet. the engine warning light had light on in this car for four years, but i did not find any reason and it is just fine. parts for this car are very expensive. most of them are only carried by dealer. it will kill you when you looking for any used parts. i tried to find a passenger side head light assembly by hundreds calls. after those i found a used parts shop have that item, but they said they wont give me the light unless i buy a whole front of the car from them. how much is it? one fifty hundred.
mazda 1
Excellent automobile, first several years of ownership absolutley no problems. In the ten years of operating this car I have spent less than 300.00 per year to kept it operational. The interaior is still in excellent condition. The engine needs a little more care now but it still runs lick a charm.
1992 Model
A very stylish car with a great ride. A very spacious interior - great for big people. Parts cost about twice as much as for a domestic car - brutal. For example, new exhaust and catalytic converter $850 US. At 100K miles, the front shocks are going, the transmission takes a while to get into reverse and 2 air sensors have been recently replaced. Handles very well in snow for a RW drive. I'd keep this car if I could afford the repair and maintenance costs.
