1991 Mazda MX6 LX review from North America
"Dependable, but not boring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust cracked shortly after purchasing car, was an easy fix costing me only $40 for the part I installed myself in less than an hour.
Had some kind of fuzz in the distributer when I purchased it, making it act like it was skipping at times, not sure what caused it, this problem was a leftover from the previous owner.
Transmission shifted rough from second to third (automatic transmission). Never located the problem. This problem never resulted in any kind of trouble, it was just an annoyance.
General comments?
Car was very reliable, got good mileage (around 30 mpg). Never had any serious problems. Operated well even after 150,000 miles.
Body held up well even during harsh NY winters. Interior was also well built and showed little wear.
Car was not overly fast, but rather brisk, and handled above average.
