1993 Mazda Xedos 9 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Some things done well, but more done poorly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
External coolant pipes have failed requiring almost the engine dismantled to replace.
Knocks in the front suspension cannot be found.
Tyre wear is heavy.
General comments?
Generally a reliable car, but really let down by sluggish performance, poor automatic - by no means a drivers car!
Fuel economy also very poor.
Great interior and takes all the kids throw at it, then cleans up well. Seats not good over long distances though.
Very quiet inside at any speed.
