Overall one of the best cars I owned, 5 speed manual gave you power on downshifts, handled really well, cheap to own, burned very little gas, was good on the road, city too. Fun to drive, plenty of room and rode great, the Goodyear Eagle GT's were a perfect fit for it. Clutch lasted 160K.

this car is sort of fast, always starts and runs, and everything inside seems to fit me perfectly

My old mazda had a major problem with the transaxle that caused the gear ratios to go out of sync and make the overdrive off light blink and not shift gears, usually when I was driving on the highway at around 70 mph. The acceleration wasn't terrible for a small 4 cylinder, but i often wished it was a manual trans because then I wouldn't have had the problem with the gearing. Otherwise, it was a decent first car that got decent gas mileage and handled great, but that was about it.

My 1996 Mazda 626 (manual trans.) has 184,000 miles on it and is still running. Although I've had to get some repairs done, it's been a pretty good car for the 5 years that I've had it. Not crazy about the way it looks, though (too rounded). But the interior's pretty nice for a 12 year old car.
