1991 Mazda MX6 LX review from North America
"Reliable, fast, fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed 2nd day after I bought it at 195670 (Normal for around 200k) 228$
Driver side Power Window Regulator (motor) replaced at 196870. 600$
I broke the Power Antenna (going to get it fixed)
Paint is fading in some spots (previous owner left it outside all the time)
Aluminum wheels are corroding kinda badly (planning on replacing these in the spring)
Sometimes one of the front speakers goes really soft (it's always only one of them and not both)
Previous owner replaced stuff over the 13 years she had it (struts, brake pads, driver side window switch, minor other items)
General comments?
Car has lots of pep.
It shifts from 1st to 2nd kinda roughly (automatic)
Handles very well.
Interior is very cool and sophisticated. You hardly know it's a 1991. I have yet to take it on a road trip.
I have replaced lots of stuff on it, but I'm hoping there will come a point and time where I'll only have to do regular maintenance on it.
Previous owner kept up with regular maintenance as have I. I baby this car so much it's not even funny.
This is my first car, but I recommend it to anyone despite all the repairs it's cost me, it's still an awesome car.
