Mazda 626 GSI 5 door.
Bought brand new in 2002, this is the fourth on I've had - the 3 previous ones were bought second hand.
Been brilliant for me - all the kit in the boot out of sight, & a roof rack clipped on when needed to carry ladders, pipe trunking, conduit etc.
Heavy on the petrol being a 2 litre, but cost next to nothing for repairs. 10 years old, 140K on the clock & still has its original exhaust. Front brake disks & timing belt have been replaced. Other than that it's just been the usual tyres, brake pads, oil & filters etc. Oh .. and only one change of spark plugs. They're platinum tipped & last for ages.
