I have had the car for 60k+ miles so far and it has been a trooper. There are few things that have gone awry with it so far. The internal car noise is minimal, getting to key components is easy to do, and replacing the interior cabin filter is a breeze.

My first car I ever owned was the Mazda 626. Like any person getting their first car, no matter what brand or age, initially you are going to be very excited. Likewise, I was. I was so excited the first time I took seat in my very first 1999 Mazda 626.

I purchased this car used and right away had major repairs. From the outside, the car was a beautiful as the day is long. Glossy black paint with chrome findings, the interior was perfect. After doing a through check up, the car was having several issues. It was surprising since there was less than 38K miles on it. The car ran okay but only in the morning. Otherwise, it was almost like it had a clogged fuel filter majority of the time. Overall, it was beautiful but not dependable at all.
