If driven a short distance (e.g. reverse of drive) it has on two occassions failed to restart unless left for 5-10 mins. I had the same problem with previous Xedos and was advised to rev the engine before turning off if I had only had the engine running for a few seconds.
My second Xedos 6.
A superb car to drive, I tested many other models but once I drove the Xedos I knew I had to have one.
Makes a great noise too if you put your foot down!
Perhaps a bit thirsty.
I have just bought the Xedos 6 automatic V6 SE 1997. 52,000 miles.
I am over the moon with it, everytime I drive it I discover something new.

Quite simply MAZDA are a fantastic car company!
Another satisfied Xedos 6 2.0 owner. I have bought mine in Dec. 2003 and brought it from Germany. The Car was made in 11.1997. and still looks as new. Performance is outstanding. And who says its' thirsty, he should try bmw 520i as I drove before. Xedos, definitely better car. Although it would suite little lowering and bigger wheels (16 or 17) but with poor road conditions in Serbia I will probably stick to 15.

From the original reviewer- it is a fact that you should not start a car from cold and then turn it off again before it has warmed up. You can cause excessive engine wear and can flood the engine- hence your Xedos not starting properly again after some minutes.
I have a 1997 Mazda Xedos6 SE best care I've ever had!! and it's number 24!
Trouble is that as time goes by I need to find a really decent Mazda service point near me... used to use Hayters at Brokenhurst in the New Forest but they closed down... had a super foreman who knew and loved the Xedos range
Can anyone make a suggestion please.
