In this last 8 months I have had to have several repairs done on this car:
A new distributer * 4. Yes, I had it replaced four times.
A new alternator.
A new starter.
A new muffler. (This one was to be expected at some point, but lumped with the repairs listed above, it was an annoyance.)
I love this car because when I drive it I feel like I am in a race car. I have test driven new cars and don't think they drive as well.
But, I will buy a new car and it won't be a Mazda because this one has given me so much grief.
I have had the car stall out on my while driving as fast as 40 MPH. It was scary and dangerous. I keep getting it fixed and clearly the mechanics cannot figure out the problem.
While I like the way it drives I would never recommend this car to anyone.
Hey man, I have the same problem, except mine will shutter really bad. The mechanic I went to checked it out and said there was oil puddling up around the spark plugs, where they connect to the plug wires, causing the plugs to foul after a while. It will burn the coil up; that may be why you had to replace it four times; just put a new set of valve cover gaskets and it will fix it for a while. Mazda had a recall on some of the MX6s because of this problem.
