1989 Mazda MX6 LX review from North America
"A best buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most electrical devices fail, such as the power antenna, rear defroster switch, power window switches, stereo.
Power windows, moon roof, and mirrors are slow and noisy.
Exhaust rattles, needs replacement.
General comments?
This car accelerates well, even for a non-turbo model.
Handling is OK, the ride is stiff but comfortable.
The car is fun to drive, gets good gas mileage, wasn't very costly.
Runs much smoother on mid-grade unleaded fuel.
The rear seats aren't THAT bad, but rear legroom is.
