What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

For The 626 is a hard-wearing, reliable family motor with a no-nonsense cabin

Against It's pretty dull to drive

Verdict It's puts dependability above everything else – it's all competence and no sparkle

Go for… 114bhp 2.0-litre petrol

Avoid… The 2.0 turbodiesel

1. Suspension, axles, brakes and electrics are where potential trouble may lie, so inspect these closely
2. Watch out for dents, signs of over-spray and bodged repairs. Body parts can be expensive
3. Choose only the smartest, well-cared for examples and you should be looking at trouble-free ownership
4. The luggage area is very versatile, and the hatchback makes access easy
5. Choose the 113bhp 2.0-litre version - this engine is more than adequate for the car
