  Good for a temporary car - 2002 Mazda 626
  By Memphishold - September 5 - 10:00 am

  My girlfriend and I shopped around till she found this 626. She wanted something else, but nothing else seem to offer greater value for similar price. At first, we liked it a lot and she talked about keeping it for a lot longer. However, now theres a problem with the intake manifold, and three seperate repair shop cant seem to fix it. Its still running okay, but she cant help but wonder when the car would give her troubles. Its a good car, just that it disappointed us quite a bit after just two years. Getting this car at a low price allowed my girlfriend to save up for another car, so well be shopping for another Mazda, maybe Mazda 3 to replace this

  Excellent car for the price - 2001 Mazda 626
  By iBlue - August 11 - 2:00 am

  Excellent car for the price. I got 44k miles on it and had zero problem so far. Comparable with Camery and Accord, but much better price. Mazda offers better performance/price ratio. Buy again.

  Its cool - 2002 Mazda 626

  The 626lx I have is very fun, its very different, thats why I purchased it. When I went car shopping my first options were either honda accord or the 626, the 626 to me was more attractive even though honda and toyota get better publicity, I consider the 626 the best kept secret.

  my first car - 2000 Mazda 626
  By JD - August 1 - 2:16 pm

  This was my first car. My dad bought it new at the dealership and when he got a altima he gave this car to me. It is a very solid car. It has solid acceleration and good handling. I like to push this car to its limits. I have hit 120 in this car! Anyway the seats are very comfortable and supportive. The air conditioning works well and I think every single person that has been in my car has commented on the rotating air vents! The transmission is ok (I wish I had a manual). The design of this car is ok, I think its a little too round. The newer sixes look a lot nicer, but obviously this car is nine yrs old. Overall this is a good car

  Fun for a first car - 2002 Mazda 626
  By Dr. Frito - May 11 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this new a year ago for $15,000. Being our first new car we wanted to be careful. We looked at the Accord and Camry and really would have liked an Accord, however for the V-6 model we would have shelled out an additional 6-8 grand. Weve had no troubles with it and really have had fun. We took off on a 2500 mile road trip not too long after purchase. Interior is clean and simple. Exterior is also clean and simple. No qualms with anything.

  Decent buy - 1998 Mazda 626
  By ray - May 10 - 5:20 pm

  I fount this car to be an excellent choice for my first one. I had to put a new engine in it when I received it. Drove it for approximately three months, then got into an accident and the car was totaled. All in all it was an extremely fun car to drive. It handled exceptionally well. When we received it, it had over 140,000 miles on it but we put an engine in it with only 50,000 miles on it. It ran perfectly flawless with the exception of a squeaky belt. I give mazda credit for building an excellent gas miser. I got close to 30 mpg. That is excellent considering how hard it was used and it was close to 10 years old. It isnt a real head turner, but if you are looking for an every day driver, it is a steal.

  By salty1211 - April 29 - 10:30 am

  I bought my 1999 Mazda back in May , It has 207,000 Plus miles all I have done to it is Oil Change and Lub . I like all the extra features which are to many to disribe . After owning a Ford -150 4 X 4 I enjoy the Gas Milage I get on The Mazda .

  Bland, but Efficient - 2001 Mazda 626
  By mbaisden - April 17 - 10:00 am

  It is liyttle more than basic transportation. It wont "WOW" you, but its relaible. Transmission is a little "choppy" and "harsh". Overall, ita a decent vehicle.

  Excellent Mid-grade Car - 1999 Mazda 626
  By flysandy72 - February 28 - 10:00 am

  My 626 has been an excellent car. I found this model with a comfortable leather interior that feels much more expensive. My 4 cylinder could use a bit more power so go for the V6 if you can (later years only offer leather with V6). Only other complaints are road noise and turn radius, two issues I can live with for the price.
