1988 Mazda MX6 GT review from North America
"The best I could ask for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken exhaust manifold stud, had to be re-bored and then mounted.
Power window switch died at about 140000km.
General comments?
I've never had a problem that wasn't expected through general wear and age.
Very reliable, fast, good handling, good lines, and also practical.
Stills smokes most new cars, even without using the turbo. With turbo, the other cars lack big time.
Car was WAY ahead of its time. 4 wheel disc brakes, power everything, headlight washers, fog lights, adjustable susp., still looks modern and has options that a lot of new cars still don't have.
