How good of a car is a 2000 Mazda 626 LX?

I am looking for a car for my 19 year old. We found a Mazda 626 and I do not know much about them. Are they a reliable car?

I would LOVE to get him a Toyota or Honda but I just CANNOT afford it! I have about 5 grand and the car I was looking at is under that. Oh yeah and I do not want to put him in a compact car.

He has only been driving for a little over a year and I worry about him. I want him safe above all else! A: My answer is just a matter of opinon.

With many years experience with two different Mazda's, I would feel safe to say that it is probably a safe bet for a reliable and economical form of transportation depending on maintenence and condition. I've owned an '89 B2200 for almost six years to the day and have had very little trouble with it. Years ago my mother owned a 1984 RX7 for several years.

During this time it acquired over 60,000 miles with really only two serious times of expense. One of those was from abuse from a previous owner almost assuredly. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
