1991 Mazda MX6 LX review from North America
"Fast fun car which is very reliable and well worth whatever money you spend on it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a leak in the oil pan soon after I bought the car, but it was fixed under warranty, and would have been cheap to fix anyway.
Seat belts are very worn out.
Paint has chipped a little.
Radio died.
General comments?
This is a very good car!
If I could buy any car I wanted for my next car, I would definitely buy another MX6.
It is a very quick little car and the handling is excellent as well.
Previously I owned a mercury tracer (which is the sister car to Ford's Escort) and the difference between the two was absolutely incredible.
Mine was a 5-speed manual transmission, and the transmission was always perfect.
I think that the 5-speed model has more pick up and is faster in general than the automatic, as I test drove models with both transmissions.
Gas mileage was incredible! I drive short distances, but I drive all the time, and $12 filled the tank and lasted over a week.
This car has oscillating fans, which was definitely a great feature!
My only major complaint about this car was that the radio/tape player died days after I bought the car, and the size of it is awkward, making it difficult to buy a CD player that will fit it without a kit.
