What Owners are Saying About the 2002 MAZDA 626

"worst vehicle i've owned"

"I do not like this car very much. It always seemed to have a major repair needed. I purchased it for a reasonable amount but the work that I have put into it has been more than the purchase price. On the outside it looks like a pretty nice looking car and when it is working fine it drives ok, but I would definetly not sell this car to a friend that I want to keep."

"WORST 4,000 ever wasted"

"I brought this car used and just like many others who wrote bad reviews about this car the transmission gave way less than a week that I had it. In total the transmission was repaired three times out of the dealer's pocket because there was a warranty still on the transmission(that I did not know about until the transmission gave up). I would not recommend this as a car anyone should buy, its handling is kind of strange too. Hopefully Mazda Zoom Zoom must be how fast they come off the factory line."

"null"

"I bought this car used, a few weeks after the purchase the transmission failed horribly. Got it fixed and then it failed again."
