1990 Mazda 626 Hatch (Don't know) 2.2i 4 Cylinder

Summary:

Great, reliable all-round car

Faults:

Cracked valve stem seal when I got it (broken thermostat), which lead to low oil which then lead to engine rebuild!

Clutch 3/4 gone, replaced.

New driveshaft seals.

New brake pads in front at 210000.

Apart from that, it's fine!

General Comments:

It is quite powerful for a car of this class. Lots of torque down low, but when you get to ~4500, the shows about over! Not too bad really.

Suspensions OK, but body roll is a bit scary sometimes.:)

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
