mazda 626 2.0 or honda civic 1.4i - wayne1980
hi all,
helping a mate buy a family car tomoz he's seen a W reg 626 2.0 in a local garage for 2495. i managed to get the price down to 1800 for reddies. we've also seen an R reg honda civic 1.4i, thats got 30k less than the mazda but from 2295 i've only got him down to 2150. it is a tidy motor.

can any one tell me the cambelt change interval on the mazda please. im reckoning on 60k/5years.

which motor would you go for? im with the honda.

there's a fair bit of difference between those two i.e. size of car and engine

what's he going to use it for e.g. mileage, how many people carrying normally, luggage, etc

I'd be inclined to go for the Mazda 626 which were very sound cars. Would want a full service history though.
