1989 Mazda MX6 review from North America
"This is an economical, reliable, easy to work on, great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the last 12 months the valves started ticking. The radiator got a hole. The clutch got really worn and sometimes the pedal sticks.
General comments?
Great car. In 8 years of ownership I only had to replace the alternator and starter, all work done by myself. The A/C had lost the free on about three years ago, but I never had it repaired. I thought first of selling it since I also own a 1970 Mercedes 250 C and a recently acquired 2000 Mercedes E 320, but I'm now seriously considering to rebuild whatever is necessary and keep this great car.
