1999 Mazda Xedos 6 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine tappets are noisy on startup even though engine oil was flushed at last oil change. Noise lasts a few minutes.
Driver's side window shudders when lowering.
Steering has become a bit slow to respond.
General comments?
Engine and gearbox are excellent.
Looks gorgeous.
Beautiful V6 engine and very satisfying acceleration and gear change.
An eye-catcher - have had many people ask me what type of car it is and all are impressed.
Drivers of these cars do not let go of them easily. I bought mine for £2000 by approaching somebody and making an offer. After much persuasion he eventually sold it to me.
