1989 Mazda MX6 GT review from North America
"Hottest Sleeper in Lincoln!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had been sitting for a year before I received the car so it had major lock-up issues. After the first few interstate runs, the engine just opened right up and I haven't been able to keep it down since!
A few hoses leaked. Cheaply replaced.
Exhaust manifold gasket leaked.
General comments?
With the original engine, transmission and clutch, and almost 200,000 miles, I am still able to go out racing in this car every weekend.
I love it because it is the best sleeper in the city! Everyone hates getting beat by a 200,000 mile, 1989 MAZDA!!
It is very comfortable inside and takes bumps in the road like it is nobody's business!
The body style is excellent for racing and I plan on building a customized body kit for the car.
