Mazda 626 Hatchback 2.0i GLX 5d (1993/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Some traders mark up prices to sell it as a sporty car, which isn't quite true.
Costs
Haven't had to buy any unexpected parts in two years (can't afford tailgate struts....). Routine servicing not expensive at local garage.

On the road
Driving
Handling a bit soft; very quiet.
Performance
Engine superb, quiet but loves being worked hard.
-
Living with it
Reliability
My car has 135,000 miles, but no new faults in two years.
Image
A bit anonymous, but nothing like as much as a Primera.
Comfort
Smooth and quiet on motorways; good seats. Feels bigger than it really is.

Security and Service
Security
Mazda dealer-fitted alarm; remote can refuse to work, and easily overridden.
