The 2002 Mazda 626 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Mazda 626; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2002 Mazda 626? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the 626
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 87 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, electrical system and suspension. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. Every 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the 626
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 396 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who rents the 626
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the 626 tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
