1991 Mazda MX6 review from North America
"Timeless sports coupe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car burned a little bit of oil since the day I bought it. It got worse over time and I wasn't happy with it. So I rebuilt the entire engine, new clutch, new rings, head job etc and that took care of that.
Had to replace the rotors once, they just wore out over time.
The paint is starting to fade a lot, but I park it outside and it's exposed to all sorts of weather.
General comments?
This car has been so reliable! (knock on wood) It's got great performance, good gas mileage, very low maintenance, and a very sporty look to it.
I've put tons of money into it over the years, but it's all been to improve the overall look/performance of it IE 16 inch mags, cat back exhaust system, rebuilt engine, high performance clutch, new suspension, 1000 watt stereo etc.
For a car that's 12 years old, it can still turn heads and keep up with the best of them.
All I can say is if you take care of the car (regular oil changes etc), it'll run for years!
