I have heard nothing but good things about Tx5/626's. I got my GF a 89 Tx5 auto with 180,000km and she thrash's the **** out of it, and all I do is service it every 7,500 km and change the timing belt when she first got it, and it keeps going and it is coming up on 265,000 now. The only thing to go was the alternator at about 220,000.
A Good friend had a 86 mazda 626 5 speed and it went for 470,000 on the same engine and gear box, the only thing that was ever replaced was the clutch and CV joints.
Great cars well built and just keep on going and going.
