The DX is the base model of the 1995 Mazda 626. Its features were spare, which kept the car affordable. The engine was a 2.0-liter, 125-horsepower four cylinder. Fuel economy was about 23/31.
1998 626 DX owners either love it or hate it. Those who love it usually own a manual. They say the car is comfortable, good looking, and is very reliable. Those who dislike the car usually own the automatic, which has caused many drivers seemingly unending problems, resulting in a lot of unhappy customers.

The 1998 Mazda 626 LX is the midrange model of the sedan. Upgrading to the LX gets power windows and air conditioning, and a sunroof is an available option. The engine is a 2.0-liter, 125 horsepower four cylinder. Fuel economy is about 23/31.
Those who bought the 1998 626 LX with a manual transmission speak highly of the car, saying they are well made, look good, and are enjoyable to drive. Those who have an automatic transmission feel differently, often reciting a litany of complaints, including multiple transmission repairs.

The 1998 Mazda 626 LX V6 is the upper midrange model of the sedan. Upgrading to the LX gets power windows and air conditioning, and a sunroof is an available option. The V6 engine has 2.5 liters and 170 horsepower.
Most owners are very enthusiastic about this car, saying it is fun to drive, looks good, and is very comfortable. Some owners seem to have one problem after another, including head gasket, paint, and transmission problems, and these are the ones that do not recommend the car.

The 1998 Mazda 626 ES is the high-end model of the sedan. It comes standard with just about everything, including air conditioning and a sunroof. The V6 engine has 2.5 liters and 170 horsepower. Fuel economy is about 20/26.
Drivers who bought the manual love the car, saying it is very reliable, fun to drive, and comfortable. Those who bought the automatic tell a different story, citing multiple transmission replacements and other smaller problems as reasons why they don't like the car.
