1993 Mazda 626 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
For 1993, the Mazda 626 was totally redesigned. The body was restyled to more rounded and up-to-date, and a driver's side air bag was now standard. The base engine was larger and more powerful, and the top-of-the-line model came equipped with a V6.
The 1993 Mazda 626 is available in three trims: the base DX, the midrange LX, and the ES V6. The ES is the high-end version, coming well equipped with amenities such as power seats and leather upholstery. The base engine is a 2.0-liter, 118-horsepower four cylinder. The V6 boasts 2.5 liters and 164 horsepower. Fuel economy for the base engine was 23/31, and for the V6 it was20/26.
With its redesign, the Mazda 626 began to establish itself more as a driver's car than an econobox. Drivers are especially enthusiastic about the ES's V6, which they say is fun to drive and has excellent acceleration. Overall, drivers praise the car for its reliability, excellent handling, and comfort. Some complain about noisiness and the inferior quality of the sound system.

I hate the fact that I have to pull a door panel to get the window back on the track normally not a big deal just don't wanna do it and the cv axle isn't that big of a deal I see em online for like 46 bucks. This car is a good driver, and runs like a top no knocks or ticks or smoke. defiantly the 32 miles to the gallon is a plus!Sep 12, 2011

Well considering it's a 1993 and i purchased it in 08 thats kinda of a big gap. It's was decently quick since it was stick shift also making it kinda fun to drive. Gas mileage wasn't bad but the car started showing it's age rather quickly and wasn't worth doing anything with within a year. Car was just starting to go from blocky to sleek and smooth so nothing too fancy their.Feb 19, 2010

-4 cylinders
-5 speed stick shift
~32 mpg
-Very fun to drive, even though its a '93.
-Forest green paint job, only one mousepad-sized scrape on front bumper (from previous owner)
-Very good condition mechanically (clutch feels good, shifts beautifully)Nov 18, 2009

Performance- Its alright, but i have driven better cars, 2nd gear would have to be the best, the amount of torque is pretty good for an old car like this.
I've beaten a few cars, but my best was when i tied with an FPV F6 Typhoon. I was hell proud
The car has been repaired, but its fine now.
Exterior- the curves on this are really cool, the interior is in good nic too.
Mileage- it isnt too bad, but if u like driving fast then it goes through it a bit, but its all in good fun.
Fun Factor- i would have to say about a 6/10Aug 15, 2008

i bought this car a few years back for about 3000 and it had about 120000 miles on it. the air conditioning never worked, the control arm had to be replaced, as well as the transmission, which was rebuilt, than i had another one put in and it went too. i have heard many times from other owners that the 93 models have poor transmissions across the board, and i read recently that there was a recall on them, and the car began to shake at speeds of over 80Oct 22, 2007

What users have asked
Where is my starter located?
I am trying to locate where, under the hood, the starter is located. It starts sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I need to know where it is at when it doesn't start.
