  Mazda 626 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 626/Capella was replaced with the GG platform Mazda6 (called the Atenza in Japan) in 2002.
Mazda's new 4-cylinder is a much-improved 2.3 L 4 with 160 hp (119 kW); the V6 was taken from Ford's Taurus.
Mazda was the last of the Japanese to increase its entry to "midsize" status; the 6 is still the smallest (and most agile) of the bunch.

 1998 Mazda 626   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Mazda has clearly taken aim at these benchmarks, and you can get a measure of its success when you learn that the body has 43 percent more torsional rigidity than the previous 626 generation.
Mazda's engineers made optimum use of interior space, by reducing the space devoted to mechanicals and increasing room for passengers and cargo.
Mazda is unlikely to ever challenge Honda, Toyota and Ford for the top of the sales charts, but a lot of folks don't want to look exactly like their neighbors.

 <----- 1978 Mazda Capella ------>
It was easily Mazda's most dependable car of of the seventies, afflicted only with air-conditioner problems on the '80s and slightly faster-than-normal brake wear on the '79s.
Mazda refocused the 626 lineup in 1989, dropping the Turbo version of the four-door sedan, limiting 626 high performance to the Touring Sedan Turbo.
The "GT" designation was revived for 1990, replacing "Turbo," and Mazda dropped the "Touring Sedan" moniker for the five-door 626, which it called simply "the sporty and practical five-door sedan." The five-door was the only 626 in 1990 that still came from Japan and was the only version which could be turbo equipped.

 1999 Mazda Protégé
For 1999, Mazda's engineers have not only given the Protege a spiffy new suit of clothes--the new body design has a distinctly European look--they've also given it a new frame, two new engines to choose from and a re-designed transmission.
Mazda's designers have made no secret of the fact that they drew their styling inspiration from European cars.
Mazda's engineers cleverly mounted the front-seat tracks in a way that yielded more space for rear-seat passengers, whose knees are now mercifully spared from being scrunched up against the back of the driver's seat.

 2003 Mazda MPV
Mazda MPV is available in two trim levels: LX ($22,690) and ES ($26,090).
Mazda MPV is among the smallest of the mainstream minivans sold in the U.S., Measuring just 188 inches long.
Mazda's attention to detail is seen everywhere: For example, the shift indicator uses outline lettering for Park and Neutral, which makes Reverse and Drive stand out better.

 1998 Mazda MPV
Mazda's rugged MPV minivan has been around for awhile, but it's still a great vehicle and still looks fresh.
Mazda now mounts the rear passenger doors on both sides of the MPV, eliminating the annoyance of having to run around to the other side of the car to tend to a baby or unbuckle a child.
Based on a rear-wheel-drive platform, the MPV is far superior for towing than the front-wheel-drive minivans.

 Automotive Industries: Mazda's Compromise Minivan
Flying in the face of Honda's formula for success, Mazda's shallow pockets forced it to settle for a platform that would be built in and shared with the Japanese market.
Mazda claims it's easy to access the fire, but a demonstration convinced us it would be more practical to dodge nails in the road than actually change rubber.
Mazda touts that the space behind the fold down rear seat is roughly four more cubic feet than in Chrysler's short wheelbase minivan, but since that's the version practically nobody buys, it's a hollow victory.

 1995 Mazda Protege   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
With the redesign of Protege, a compact-class 4-door sedan with seating for five, Mazda's design team attempts to carve out maximum space for people, pile on comfort features usually carried by more expensive models, then provide perky acceleration in a fun-to-drive format but also bring home the fuel economy figures of an econo-miser commuter car.
As cute as it may be, don't judge Protege by the slant of its prow or the curt cut of its tail.
Reinforced steel side door beams and steel side pillars also work to shield riders, as do Mazda's dual airbags, 3-point belt systems, even such handling improvements as the car's chassis that now measures almost twice as stiff in bending as the previous Protege and one and a half times more rigid in torsional movement.

Mazda's 626 is a sporty alternative to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
Extensively redesigned last year, the Mazda 626 is an attractive sedan, though, like the Camry and Accord, won't attract a lot of attention.
Like all Mazda products, the 626 comes with three years of free roadside assistance and slightly longer warranty coverage (to 50,000 miles); Mazda says its dealers will even provide a free loaner when and if your 626 requires warranty repairs.

 1997 Mazda MPV
Mazda has been missing the sport-utility bandwagon ever since it stopped selling the Navajo.
Mazda figures the MPV All-Sport will attract buyers who need a minivan to haul people, but want a sport-utility with four-wheel drive and a rugged, outdoorsy appearance.
Based on a rear-wheel drive platform, the MPV is far superior for towing than the front-wheel drive minivans comprising the majority of the market.

There are Mazda technical, research and design, and parts distribution centers throughout the country and it also has a joint venture partnership with Ford at the Flat Rock, Michigan production facility for the manufacture of a variety of Mazda and Ford models.
Using a concept that Mazda calls "Optispace" results in a car that looks small on the outside for easy parking and quite spacious on the inside for passenger comfort.

If the Centerforce catalogue is correct the flywheels and clutches will not be interchangeable between the 1.6SOHC and the 1.8 DOHC because their list show that the transmissions have different diameters and number of spline on the input shaft.
This last observation is only based on drawings from the Mazda service manuals and may not be a concern at all.
It looks like the Mazda engineers wanted to reduces torque steer by reducing the unsupported length of the right shaft between the two CV joints.
