1993 Mazda Xedos 6 review from UK and Ireland
"A rare and unique car, anyone considering a small executive car should have this on their A list"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake caliper siezed, replaced free of charge as this is a known design fault.
General comments?
Beautiful retro "junior Jaguar" styling which refuses to look dated, complemented by superb fit and finish of all the exterior parts.
Tremendous high tech V6 engine pulls like a train from 2500 RPM and makes all the right noises without being intrusive in the cabin. These engines are also virtually bombproof, featuring a proper steel crankshaft and a split crank case design rather than flimsy conventional mains caps.
Performance is excellent, 60mph coming up in a shade over 8 seconds up to a 137mph maximum. Handling is generally good, although these cars do benefit from lowered sports springs.
Economy is above average for a performance car, 34mpg is not unrealistic on a long run, 27mpg is usual around the town.
Boot lid is on the small side, hampering access to what is in fact a generous luggage compartment. The passenger compartment is a little cramped, although in this respect it is no worse than a 3 series BMW.
