1988 Mazda MX6 GT review from North America
"A very good car, fun to drive, inexpensive to buy and own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious. The power antenna isn't power anymore, the fuel gauge only works when the tank is at least half full and I sometimes have to yank the gas tank cover lever twice to open. But for a thirteen year old car it's really nothing. I've changed the oil twice, but had _no_ repair costs since I got it five months ago.
General comments?
Extremely reliable (even more reliable than my old Volvo), powerful and fun to drive yet fuel efficient, perhaps a bit small (I'm 6'2", 200 lbs) but fairly comfortable thanks to the adjustable steering wheel.
