Great car, but definitely not for MI winters :)
Brakes.
Bought it in May. I have loved it since then.
It has good performance, provides pretty comfortable driving, and is really robust. I had only one problem with the brakes till now.

A design that will become a classic
Left rear calliper froze which made the brakes drag. The car was just one month out of warranty (37 months) but Mazda replaced the calliper, pads, turned the disc and replaced the pads and turned the disc on the right side for free!
The car started to misfire last summer on a trip to Vancover, BC and was fixed right away at Regency Mazda. The sparkplug wires were arcing. Replaced with a set of blue NGK wires.
A squeak and rattle in the center of the dashboard goes away when the cigarette lighter is removed.
This is my second MX6. My first one was a 1993 Hunter Green LS which I first saw at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1991. At that time, I knew that was a car I wanted. I traded it in for a leftover 1995 in February, 1996 and saved over $5.100 from the MSRP.
It is a great car and I think the it is one of the better looking cars on the road today. And it really handles. A Motor Trend road test had a 1994 MX6 pulling .90 G's on the skidpad with the stock Bridgestone RE-71 tires.
I'm keeping this car for a while. I'm looking for a Mazda in-dash CD player and also will replace the Bridgestone RE92's with new tires -- maybe RE730's or stick with the RE 92.
Mazda -- produce this car again!

Good looking and dependable car
Car didn't start because of a spark wire leak. Had to replace the spark wires at about 50K miles.
Great car, seems to be very dependable.
I am looking to put a different air filter in the car for some performance reasons as it is only a 4 cylinder.

Great car!
Spark plug wires and valve cover gaskets.
What a sweet car! Nice ride and good performance in the same package. Even at 100,000 miles, the little V-6 sings all the way to the redline with no hesitation. Too bad they didn't put turbos in the 93+ models.
It's a real shame that Mazda discontinued this car.

Fun to drive, but not a family car
The only thing I have had to change are the spark plug cables.
I haven't had any problems with it. I have a spoiler on the trunk which makes the trunk heavier and does not stay up by itself. I love the sound of the engine when accelerating hard, the performance is unmatched. Little room in the back, but if it's just for your driving pleasure with one other passenger, it's great. If you're going to buy an MX5, you have to get the LS.

Love my 1995 MX6 LS. I rescued it from an insurance auction last summer. It had very minor water damage to the engine. The car was a one owner. I switched out the motor, put in a new radiator and plugs and changed all the fluids.
It is smooth! I had a Porsche 944 that I sold to buy the MX with. I'll never regret it. The MX rides better and I think it looks better.
It is jet black with a cream colored leather interior, not a scratch on it. I keep it stored through these rotten Iowa winters, but I can't wait for spring!!
