1994 Mazda MX6 LS. 2.5 V6

Summary:

This car is a tuner's dream

Faults:

My previous Mx6 needed a new thermostat at 140,000 miles.

Due to poor up keep I blew the head gasket as well, due to overheating which was caused by the faulty thermostat.

This car, as well as every other MX6 I've seen is missing the 2nd cup holder which should be found in the center storage area.

General Comments:

The problems found on my old car were due to driver's error. They were not caused by the manufacturer.

I sold the old 4 cylinder model for parts and bought another 1994 MX6 V6 equipped with a 5 speed transmission which has nearly half the miles on it.

In general, this is a superb car and is quick, comfortable, and experiences very little body roll due to a great suspension.

The aftermarket exhaust sounds nice and deep, not like the noise that exits a civic.

1994 Mazda MX6 LX 2.5L V^

Summary:

Amazing look and ride, but too expensive parts and gas guzzler (v6)

Faults:

Well, I love the way this car looks. BUT reality is I BOUGHT A LEMON. Its auto. AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE! It will cost me $1000 to put a new one with no guarantee it will run for another 10,000km. I am disappointed, but only paid $5700 so not too depressed. I am going to look for another one, but possibly in standard! I'm so sad to see her go! Oh, and the power windows switch went, the driver door lock is crap. V6 ENGINE, 160 hp stock, but A GAS GUZZLER! (stupid automatic)

General Comments:

LOVE THE LOOK! Come on, it looks like a 2000 model. The body is so slick. The quality of the ride is amazing, so smooth... except that stupid jerking transmission I have!!! The car is a dream. I want to buy another. Just not a lemon this time. If you want to share your opinions with me, email me maria3893@sympatico.ca.

The automatic transmissions are prone to go out in all 93-97 MX6/626/Probes. Have an aftermarket transmission cooler installed after your transmission is repaired or replaced, and keep on top of the maintenance of the transmission (filter and fluid changes) and it should last you a long time. Come check out www.mx6.com sometime.

Sadly, the auto transmission was a Ford experiment in which the unit was constructed entirely of pressed cardboard. The Mazda forums are rife with horror stories...

1994 Mazda MX6 LS 2.5L V6

Summary:

All around good car :tup:

Faults:

I had to change the CV Joints ($160), valve cover gaskets ($60), oil sending unit ($3.00) and power window switch ($50.00). As you can see all the parts where cheap, I do all the work myself so I didn't have to pay labor.

General Comments:

Great car, I've put a aftermarket clutch, lightened flywheel, borla exhaust, and a test pipe on her and she pulls hard. She can take 5.0 mustangs and is very fun to drive. Using a G-Tech I measured my 0-60 to be about 6.6seconds.

I have a 94 MX6 with the Auto Transmission.

The HOLD button (though I would like to hear other folks comments) is used to hold the current gear while accelerating. As you know, the automatic transmission will shift gears when a certain RPM is hit. If your racing, you might want to hold the acceleration a little into the red. You can pop on the HOLD with your thumb and continue accelerating, then pop it off and the car will shift gears. I once spun tires at 45mph switching from 1st to 2nd using this technique. Pretty cool, but I've heard its not good for the tranny.

1994 Mazda MX6 LS 6 cylinder

Summary:

A classic style with great performance

Faults:

The air conditioning needed a new condenser and belt at 70000.

General Comments:

I am 6' 4" and the cabin is a little small for me, but I still fit.

The car goes exactly where you want it to go. It has great road manners.
