For many things, the Japanese have thought better. Thus, the heatable rear window first makes a narrow window strip for quick view to the rear fog-free, then the whole glass. Or: The rear seat can be turned into a smooth combi car floor at the angle. Genial of the fuse box. It sits in the driver’s footroom and is illuminated by the extra interior light. Should their fuse have been burned through: it can be blindly felt, as it overwhelms all others. However, it is not only the small things that contribute to the mythical formation of this Mazda series. The brakes, for example, last forever. Our test car still drove with the first set of ventilated disks in front and drums in the rear. The most expensive wear parts, i.e. engine and gearbox, run like a clockwork – provided occasional lubricant look. The hydro-punch of the 2.2-litre starts to tick harmlessly after about 100,000 kilometers. The biggest auto enemy, father Ro St, makes around the body of the 626 a big bow. And that even without galvanizing, only due to good preventive measures. There can swim in the trunk angles tadpoles or in the biotope area of the front fenders (between splash flaps and door) the linden blossoms germinate – a 626 gives the Gilb no chance. What clouds the cohabitation now? Central locking, electric window lifter and power steering are mostly available from GLX. Yes, an air conditioning system would be nice, airbag and AB S-Bremse. ABS was available for the four-wheel-driven 4WS (superfluous!), the 4WD four-wheeler and the GT of the GD-series. Everything else remains on the wish list. But that’s why like the old one, cancel your love? That would be really unfair.
