1993 Mazda MX6 2.5i GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many rattles and shakes in the dash and doors. Exhaust needed replacing after 40,000 miles. A/C pipe split...on the hottest day of the year..replacement part (1 pipe) cost over 150 quid! Stock brakes not up to task. Can be difficult to get gearbox into reverse.
General comments?
Quick enough....but 2.5 litres of V-6 should be faster in the midrange. The engine while powerful is lazy and a bit slow to rev, although it sings happily along at 5000+ rpm all day. Chassis is not stiff enough. Long distance cruising effortless and relaxing. Handling good rather than great. Cheap plastic dash. Endless wind leaks around frameless windows...dealers less than useless at fixing them.
