Hello, I am looking for a replacement for my Volvo, a newer but not new car, which is to some extent clear, has a large trunk, and is above all reliable. After a little search and a long look in my empty wallet, the following selection is available: If a Mazda 626 station wagon is preferred around the turn of the millennium (’98-’02), a Toyota Avensis (’01-’02) or a Nissan Primera. The latter are very cheap, but obviously suffer from the caramel plague and the Cock pit looks like a prolific stereo system of the 90s. To the Mazda I hear surprisingly little bad – a bit of talk about brakes, a bit of rust, hardly anything else. Here in the forum a quick look did not give so much, my best friend is enthusiastic about his ’01er 626 (but also a bit blinded, as far as Mazda is concerned), my uncle very satisfied with his fully equipped 6. So what should I pay attention to? Look forward to good feedback! Lieb Gruss Oli P.S.: Living in Norway Here the prices are different and the running performance is higher… Examples I’m interested in: ’00 626 with fresh TÜV, try out maybe on the Easter weekend, ’02 Avensis (hole in the exhaust, marauding rhymes, broken window lifter, sad varnish and dead hand brake – otherwise good ), ’01 Primera, try driving maybe tonight.
