Completely different car than the 626. 626s are notorious for poor auto trannys. Stick to manual transmissions if you must have a 626.

you have HORRIBLE taste. period.
do you know of a nice looking wagon car that will get loud ,still be reliable, and have low miles, while maintaining a low cost
i think mazda 3 wagons look pretty **** good for what they are
look **** better than a vibe, and can be had cheaper with less miles than a magnum... used to drive a subaru impreza wagon and they were nice, boxter engine had nice getup and the AWD was fun in the winter

Mazda recently won an award for the most reliable car between 3 and 9 years old.
MAZDA CLAIMS TOP SPOT IN RECENT RELIABILITY REPORT
IRVINE, Calif. – Mazda vehicles have claimed the top place in one of the world’s largest- ever reports on vehicle reliability. Nearly 92 percent of the Mazda cars studied, including the MX-5 Miata, aged between three and nine years old, suffered no mechanical failure of any type – outperforming all other brands.
The report, which was issued by independent automotive extended-warranty specialists, Warranty Direct, looked at the reliability of more than 450,000 vehicles from 33 manufacturers, across the United States and United Kingdom. The resulting ‘Reliability League Table’ shows the number of failures reported for every 100 vehicles covered by Warranty Direct’s policies. Mazda was rated number one with a failure rate of just 8.04 percent of vehicles aged between three and nine years old.
“The exceptional build-quality and long-term reliability of Mazda vehicles is something we have been proud of for quite some time,” said Jim O’Sullivan, President and CEO, Mazda North American Operations. “The findings of this recent report reinforce what we’ve believed all along – that Mazda reliability is not just very good, it’s the best. These results are proof that Mazda builds stylish and exciting vehicles without sacrificing quality or reliability.”
Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mazda North American Operations oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico through nearly 900 dealers. Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc., located in Ontario, Canada, and in Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.

I still believe that Honda was the best of bunch, due to the fact, that they had a MASSIVE transmission failure issue on the 98-01 Accord V6s. If that hadn't been the case, they would have destroyed Mazda, but that doesn't make their rating a bad one.
