1993 Mazda MX6 review from North America
"Bulky, yet cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Whole rear lighting system (tail lights, license plate lights) were not functioning at time of purchase.
Ignition module blew after the first three days of having the car.
Clutch slips badly at high rev gear changes.
Air conditioning and heat are mild.
Sunroof does not function occasionally.
CV joints make popping sounds when turning the wheel at a stand still.
General comments?
The 4 cylinder MX-6 is a non-performance "sports car". It's 118hp motor barely pulls to say the least. Handling wise, the soft suspension makes high speed driving seem "on the edge" - of destruction.
When the car breaks down, and it will inevitably, Mazda parts are hard to find, however reasonably affordable.
The interior is relatively room in the front, but the rear seat and trunk are small compared to the size of the car.
