Not a good car
The transmission has gone out and the engine is shot.
It is a great car. all the girls like it, but it only gets 18 MPG and don't have enough power to race anyone out there. But I'm ready to put a new motor and transmission it it so hopefully it will go faster.

A Great Little Car!!!
Rack-and-pinion steering
Ball joints
Control arm.
This is a absolute awesome little car. It is extremely reliable. I expect to get 350000+ kms out of it without any problems at all (Original engine, transmission, paint, etc...) I still manage to get 40 mpg on the highway. The car almost looks as good as it did the day it drove off the car lot, same with the interior. It handles well, brakes well, and has decent performance. I Love it!!!

Well worth the money
I have had 2 problems, I found a bad sensor and the exhaust has rusted off.
The over all performance of the car has surprised me. I was expecting something a little more sluggish. After driving it and letting the engine clean itself out it has more power and response.
I found that with slight alterations to the engine that I was able to increase quarter mile speed by 15 mph without spending much money.

Mystery under the hood
Until today, the car been running perfectly.
Only the alternator and starter blew up!!!
Of course the power antenna jammed.
The engine was taken out at 302000 km.
I had put a fresher one inside at 174000km.
The old engine is in a rebuild process.
And will add a turbo to it.
I expect to get a near 200hp out of it and will add a Nitrous system.
I used to be a V8 fan, but since I owned this car, it really kick asses...
Even when the 302,000 engine was in the car, I was still able to reach the injection cut-off (at 180 km). Just try to do so with a Camaro.

A bad choice I have to live with
The transmission needed to be replaced.
The right and left CV boots and struts have been replaced.
The dealership does not have the right size muffler for the vehicle.
The seats are uncomfortable.
Inside windows freeze over at the first temperature drop. Ice crystals form inside the trunk in winter months.
The car is very good looking on the outside. However, the paint has started to chip and it has started to look "blotchy" in its colour.
I have had WAY too much trouble with this car to even give it a 2 out of 10. It was a bad choice, and now I have to live with it.

A fast car for fast bucks
The automatic windows have slower ascending and descending speeds.
Seats are comfortable for a couple of hours, but the shape of the seats tends to hurt your back if driven longer.
This is a quick car if you know how to drive it.
Have outrun Ford Ranger V-6, 2001 Prizm, Buick TCI, ThunderBird 5.0 in the quarter mile.
Fastest speed 143 mph, still slightly inclining.

Id just like 2 say that I've outrun a 2001 prism on my bicycle.. sorry buddy.. but it is fast.. i have a 89 probe gt and its the same car, and i smoked a non-gt mustang..
I have a 1990 mx6 gt with mild upgrades and I burned a neon srt-4. The little things make a world of difference.
Mazda's MX-6 missile
Nothing has gone wrong with the car yet.
I have owned many high performance sports cars, including a Porche 911, but none have been as easy to run and upgrade as this car has.
My MX6 turbo has many upgrades that have cost me less than $4000.00 US.
I can now outrun stock 2001 Preludes with ease.
The only problem you will have is not knowing when to go home.

I have a 1990 Mazda MX6. I can't complain about the performance. It has a 2.2 4 cylinder, and the factory speedometer goes to 150 mph. And she has been there a few times, LOL.
In fact, I also have a 1972 Gran Torino Sport/351 Cobrajet, and my little Mazda gives her a good run for the money.
Don't get me wrong, my Mazda won't ever beat my Torino, but it's scary to know they stay side by side for the first 50 yards, LOL.
