It's a good buy, but make sure you buy 5-speed manual transmission, because Mazda uses Ford's automatic transmission on these cars and they suck big time.

It sounds like a good buy. I used to drive them alot when I worked for a rental car company. They can take a decent beating.

my buddy's got a 98 626 with 90k+ miles on it. seems to be a very reliable car,, but his is an auto tho so i don't kno how a manual would compare.
