1990 Mazda MX6 LX review from North America
"A bad choice I have to live with"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission needed to be replaced.
The right and left CV boots and struts have been replaced.
The dealership does not have the right size muffler for the vehicle.
The seats are uncomfortable.
Inside windows freeze over at the first temperature drop. Ice crystals form inside the trunk in winter months.
General comments?
The car is very good looking on the outside. However, the paint has started to chip and it has started to look "blotchy" in its colour.
I have had WAY too much trouble with this car to even give it a 2 out of 10. It was a bad choice, and now I have to live with it.
