For many, their image of Mazda is associated with the Mazda 626. This large family car became symbolic with the 1980s, having been introduced to the market in 1979. The first Mazda 626 featured was a front engine rear-wheel drive compact and had little to differentiate it from the Mazda Capella, on which it was based. The 1983 redesign however, took the Mazda 626 to new heights using the GC Platform and the new look scooped numerous awards. Further reinventions of the Mazda 626 took place in 1988, 1993 and 1998 – the car’s production culminated in 2002.

Mazda 626 1996

5 star review

This car is amazing. It goes as well today as the day I bought it five years ago. It’s smooth, incredibly comfortable. It’s used every day in heavy London traffic, plus many long journeys to Wales, and also France. It’s done 100,000 miles. Uses virtually no oil. Can it go on forever?!

5 star review

I acquired The Mazda 626 Automatic 2.0 i Executive in 1998. It was an ex-company car. It had done 85,000 miles at that time. It has all the usual refinements including cruise control which seemed a bit surreal when used, in that it would change gear if it dropped below a certain rev. The car now has done 180,000 miles with no major repairs, goes through the MOT with minimal expense - ie light bulbs, tyre etc... The engine goes from one service to the next without requiring oil, amazing. This car is definitely the best car I have ever had and I will be loath to get rid of it finally.

4 star review

Great family car. Bought mine 3 years ago on a 51 plate and a reasonable amount of milage. It’s taken a fair battering and just keeps on going. Very reliable and inexpensive to run. The only down side is its looks - very boring. Good car if you can get your hands on one in good condition.
