1987 Mazda 626 GLX 2.0 carburettor petrol
Faults:
Main bearing oil seal, driveshaft CVs. Apart from that just usual wear and tear items. Had new brake discs at 105,000.
General Comments:
It's my second 626. The first was a manual 5-speed injection which I sold on at 156,000 still with factory-fitted clutch and gearbox. The head had never been off as far as I know. Never took a single drop of power steering fluid in the 66,000 miles of my ownership. This one is an auto and the gearbox is wonderful. As usual all the little gadgets and gizmos work perfectly. It's losing a bit of transmission fluid but, hey, it's done 120,000! Smashing car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
