1988 Mazda MX6 GT review from North America
"An incredible car that has unbelievable potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The throttle body boot ripped and needed replacing at around 102000 kilometres.
Spoiler started to rust out right where it is bolted to the car on the passenger side.
Alternator went at around 104000 kilometres.
General comments?
This car is very reliable. It is my first car, but for a 13 year old car, she is still running great!!
Although I don't find this car very economical on gas. I only get about 350 kilometres on a full tank, 400 kilometres max!!
Otherwise, this car is a powerful little piece of machinery. Only 145 horsepower, but the torque makes up for it. Do some little performance mods and the car will do wonders for you.
