That brought back memories of my parent’s ‘87 626 LX they purchased new
yeah, those were the days. i remember seeing plenty of those older 80s mazdas, but i don't remember actually riding in one. the earliest one i remember riding in (and later driving) was a 97 626 my cousin had. it was manual with the 4 cylinder (i believe it was a 2 litre?). the car was slow, but i remember thinking the swinging vents were the coolest thing. i drove it before i was any good at driving manual, and i remember my cousins telling me to downshift a lot.

My buddy's dad had this one, it was a fun car and had a beautiful interior. We were 18 so it was plenty fast for us. They also had a Legacy (manual I think) and a loaded Accord.

yeah, i remember a more velourish and plushish interior. i had a 93 accord lx with the blood red/maroon interior. i thought it was quick, until i lost to a saturn. my boss had a 98 accord ex which felt like a luxury car to me back in the early 2000s.
The '87 626 LX my parents purchased new would probably still be on the road today if a nephew who later took ownership had fixed a radiator leak 5 or so years ago.
