1997 Mazda MX6 review from South Africa
"Great cars. Lamentiable dealers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much,the most serious is a suspension strut that carries the anti sway bar. this is a typical Mazda 626 failing.
General comments?
The Mazda dealers are very arrogant, spares are expensive. Example:
The "fog" light on the MX6 sells at SA R3000,00.This price is for a complete assembly in the UK it is possible to purchase the lens only.
The headlamp assembly on the current 626 sells at SA R1800,00 again in the UK only the lens is available.
The dealer principle will not discuss the matter or any other that is critical of the service rendered.
