I have had the car for 60k+ miles so far and it has been a trooper. There are few things that have gone awry with it so far. The internal car noise is minimal, getting to key components is easy to do, and replacing the interior cabin filter is a breeze.

My first car I ever owned was the Mazda 626. Like any person getting their first car, no matter what brand or age, initially you are going to be very excited. Likewise, I was. I was so excited the first time I took seat in my very first 1999 Mazda 626.

I've never owned a car, and desperately needed one after moving to a city without adequate public transportation. I've never wanted a car, and bought one now only out of necessity. I lucked out and found this 2001 Mazda with low mileage for an insanely low price. For the amount of money that I paid, it's a good car. It gets me from point A to point B without too much angst.
