I would recommend this car if you could find one. They're getting hard to find, mine is a sleeper because it has been stored. Now it's back because of the fantastic MPG I'm having fun so far, I have put 200 miles on it. It now it needs a muffler. I want to keep it factory original if possible but its getting hard to find OE parts. I looked at standard 626's but was not impressed until I drove the GT Turbo!Dec 01, 2012

now that i have put some more work into this car i find that 96HP can go a long way... especially with a 5 speed! although it needs new shocks and handles like a boat I will love it till the end!
PS. Added cup holders!Aug 23, 2009

This was the second car that I owned. It wasn't much to look at, but it was fuel injected, and got me from point A to point B. It was moderately comfortable. Power was decent, but not too much. The seats were moderatly comfortable.Mar 17, 2009

Fast acceleration, awesome handling at high speed.
Needs back wheel wells welded Other wise i love this car, its super sexy in its own retro boxy way.
Really fun to drive, great right off the start, really cheap on gas, about 7l - 100 km. Pretty nice power window/door /sunroof options. Aug 24, 2008

First car I ever had, and I really liked it despite its problems. My family traded it in to buy a 2004 CR-V. It only had a 3-speed transmission, which meant I couldn't go more than 55 or 60 without feeling like I was breaking it. It handled very well and felt very solid. The downside: for some reason a lot of stuff started to go wrong and had to be replaced before it had 100,000 miles, and it popped and cracked when turning because something else was going out. Bearing plates, I think.Jul 18, 2008

Got the car for free, owner told me the engine rebuilt 30,000 klm ago but head gasket gone. Could not find head Gasket problem but have found leak of oil at the passenger's side cyliner head retaining bolts number 1 and 2. Wondering if this is typical or will cause serious problems.
Interior nice red instead of the dull interiors of today's vehicles. Exterior straight but rust bottom of fuel filler, drivers side front fender around signal light rusting and behind passenger side rear wheel.
Problems to address
Idle's at about 1200-1300, is this normal
Sunroof does not work
Radio & power antenna
Believe turbo is working, light's up on dash but thinking it does not provide the boost that you 626 turbo owners describe.
Hoping this free car works as good as the price.Dec 30, 2007

This car was a stealth sport sedan. It had big (for 1986) polished aluminum wheels with performance tires, headlight washers, an aggressive honeycomb grille, and a black and red TURBO badge on the trunk. With a high performance stereo, orange and black gauges, an aggressive stance, and enough torque to break the tires loose with almost no effort, this car was a thrill both around town and on long trips.Nov 30, 2007

auto-adjust-suspension 1986 mazda
i just bought this 1986 Mazda 626 GT Turbo hatchback a month ago and it only has 108,000 miles on it and is in good shape body and engine but needs shocks. It has an auto adjust suspension (aas) and I need to know if I can just put regular shocks on it. How to find out?
