1993 Mazda MX6 review from North America

"If you decide to buy one of these cars, you have to be careful because they have a lot of problems!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

As soon as a got the car, I had to change the water pump, timing belt and other belts. About $500 for everything.

After about 2 weeks I had to change a radiator for $600.

Also changed spark plugs and the wires, hand brake, brakes and the calipers. Only the calipers cost about $100 each.

Changed a distributer, the common problem on these cars. $600.

Month after the engine started to knock, make some strange noises, very loud. Went to a mechanic told that lifters are very badly damaged. When he opened the engine, found out that also fifth and sixth bearings are totally messed up. The crank should also be replaced because some of the holes are stuck, so the oil doesn't go through. The only solution that I had is to get a used engine. I took j-spec. klze $3000 everything.

General comments?

One thing that I found out about Mazda and this particular model is that these cars are worst japanese cars. Yes, they're are made in the USA and maybe that's why they are crap.

The engine of these cars are very complicated to take a part, so if something break inside the engine you are in big trouble, because the crank and much of the other stuff inside is all connected with the bottom of the engine.

The parts for these cars are really expensive, almost like the prices for BMW parts.

These cars are fast enough, they can easily go up with many cars on the street.

I put klze inside my, so now the car has about 190-195 hp. I can easily beat a Mustang now, anytime I want.

They are some good things about the car, but they are probably the worst Mazda cars ever built, probably because they were built in the U.S.A.

I want to sell my MX6 and get a Golf. I can tell you something, a Golf is more reliable than an MX6, but if you want to get a speed, get a VR6. They are awesome cars!!!
