Thinking of buying the 1996 Mazda 626?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1996 Mazda 626 for sale by us right now. Here is the 1996 Mazda 626 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the 626
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 359 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $41.85 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 396 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the 626 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
