orly_andico,
from what i hear, the Auto tranny 626 does have problems. i have a friend who wants to unload his, but since his tranny needs fixing, he can't yet. and about the engine, indeed it's the weakest among those in its time. but at cruising speeds, i liked it. it was stable, had that heavy eurocar feel, still stable at 200 kph. hehehe. then again, it would depend on your cup of tea.
