1988 Mazda MX6 GT review from North America
"This car is great all around, fast, great handling, just pure fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It burns a bit of oil. about 1 liter every 2 weeks or so.
One of the exhaust manifold studs broke off in the head. As a result I am losing exhaust and therefore boost.
One time the turbo tubing came off of the intake while I was driving. All I had to do was pull over and put it back on, not a big deal.
General comments?
I love this car, I am in high school and I drive it quite hard.
It is very fast and the electronic adjustable suspension is very cool. It makes a big difference.
This car seems to have a lot of cool gagets that I have never seen on another car before.
The seats inside are very comfortable. I am 6'2" and I seem to fit somehow! The backseat is supposedly kind of tight fitting.
I was skeptical before I bought this car, but now that I have owned it for a year, it was a very good purchase.
