1993 Mazda MX6 LS review from North America
"Testament to Mazda's economic woes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Numerous electrical problems such as int. wipers giving out at 4 yrs, engine warning light intermittent, rear defroster poor, etc. Add to that anti-sway bar breaking, clutch giving out early, rear brakes ceasing, paint peeling off all over, and 2 ball joints being replaced.
General comments?
Mazda has shown that it just doesn't have the economic resources any more to properly engineer a car (Ford notwithstanding). I read that it took them 2 more years to iron out the bugs in this model. Moral : if you need to buy a Mazda, wait two years into the model year.
