Mazda 626GE ES
| | Model of the car: | Mazda 626GE ES | | | General comments: | I bought my 626 new in 1999 and have since put 69000 miles on it. At 51000 miles, the transmission went completely out, but Mazda was nice enough to replace it free of charge. The 2.0 4cyl. engine is hardly enough to pull the weight of the car. The handling is great... when you finally get to a decent speed. The lack of power is simply emabarassing.
Additionally, since shortly after purchase, the engine has idled very low and will shudder violently and at times completely quit, though it starts again as if nothing happened. Mazda has been unable to find a problem but it has not actually gotten any worse.
I was contemplating a 2002 626, but the prices are comparable to Accord, Altima, and Camry for much less car. Mazda still hasn't improved the engine or body style yet expects current mid-size sedan prices. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | 4 cyl. engine is a joke, the smallest in its class. Boring body style. Transmission problems. | | | Previous car: | Previous car was Mazda Protege, it proved more dependable in the long run. |
