1999 Mazda 626

No, I no longer own the car.. but my son, Robert, does, and since I co-signed the note on the loan, that counts for something... ;-)

I bought this car for Karen when she tired of the Neon's bare-bones nature. She wanted something a wee bit more upscale, something comparable to the Acclaim's trim level. Hey, can't blame her for that! And with p/w, cruise, tilt, and CD player, it filled the bill admirably. A program car with 6,000 odd miles on it, I got a very good price, at $12,800.
Karen liked it alright, though I was never totally happy with it. For one thing, it was a pain to maintain. It has perhaps the most stupid oil filer location I've yet seen, for instance. For another, it developed an unacceptable number of rattles and squeaks during the time I owned it. It was an OK car, though; fairly peppy, good a/c, and the automatic transmission was one of the best I've seen as far as matching the proper gear to road and driving conditions.
