Mazda 626 Hatchback 2.0i GSi 5d (1998/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
The GSi has got lots of "stuff" - pity the sucker who bought this new at nearly £19k - I bought second hand for £6k.
Costs
This has cost me less to run than a friend's Escort.

On the road
Driving
Actually turns corners unlike Vauxhalls and Fords.
Performance
This is the 135BHP version - feel the difference between 3000 and 5000 revs.

Living with it
Reliability
120,000 miles and the only thing that broke in that time was a front brake caliper - and I still haven't changed the exhaust !

Who cares - you sit inside the car and look out.
