  A good car overall - 2001 Mazda 626

  From an appearance standpoint, this generation has the best lines compared to previous 626s, and the interior has an inviting look to it, plus its roomy and comfortable with a great stereo. If you want a car full of high- tech toys, youll be disappointed. The luxury/power features this model has (ES-V6) have been in luxury cars since the 80s. Reliability is good, except the radiator needed replacement @ 110K. Ive heard complaints about the transmission but so far Ive had no issues with it @ 156K. The V-6 runs horribly on 87 octane, it needs at least 89. Im getting clunking from the rear suspension, most likely bushings/struts needs replacing.

  The most reliable car I ever owned - 2002 Mazda 626
  By mazdamom6 - October 3 - 8:56 pm

  I bought my Mazda 626 2002 used in 2003 with 1500 miles, ran the heck out of it from state to state for three years with no problems what so ever. It was such a great car that when my daughter needed a safe car I gave her my Mazda because it was safe, reliable and perfect for her. She is still driving it today with no problems other than regular maint. It has well over 100,000 and will likely last another ten years. I have looked and looked to purchase another one for myself and can not find one for sale (I suspect they have stayed in families, just like mine.) Excellent car! FYI mine was not a manual

  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

  Get little car with a lot of get up and go for a 4 banger and still preserves fuel economy. As a college student I appreciate its economical value as well as it handling and feel.

  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
  By cool210 - August 8 - 2:00 am

  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.

  Lots of extras - 2002 Mazda 626
  By Mike from East Islip - August 5 - 3:53 pm

  I like driving Mazda 626 and the dealer was good to deal with. This car has a zippy 4 cyl. engine and is good on gas. The car is comfortable and has some nice extras like the headlights turn off automatically. The engine is a bit loud for a sporty effect and I replaced the radio because the display wasnt work most of the time but the radio I put in it has a I-pod jack. I have 98,000 miles on her as is still running good. I hope to have this car for a while.

  I got this car as a gift, though it has been reliable I DO NOT recommend anyone buying it. I wouldnt have bought this car for myself.
