Faults:

I have a 1996 Mazda MX-6. The only problem I have with the car is the transmission. The O/D is a constant problem, and the car jerks and it used to stop while driving on the highway. In order to get the car to work, I have to first drive it in Reverse, then put the gear back in drive, but before I press the gas, I have to click the overdrive button to turn it off, it gives a little jerk, then it drives, but I can feel a drag while I'm driving. The transmission is an automatic.

There is a class action lawsuit being pursued against Mazda. I encourage everyone who's had a problem with their transmission to join in the suit.

Faults:

Engine light comes on about once a month. It stays on for a day or two, then turns off on its own.

Weird screeching noise occurs from the front right wheel when rolling in reverse. Tried to get it fixed, but the noise still persists.

Other than that, nothing has gone wrong with this car, but then again, I haven't had it long enough to really experience anything major going wrong with it.

I love the styling of this car! It is so damn sexy from the right angles! The ladies definitely love the look, and I never get tired of turning heads.

I just graduated from high school, and I love peoples' disbelief when I tell them that I bought this car with my money, and not my dad.

The V6 engine creates some wonderful power, and even though I have no previous car to compare it too, it definitely manages to throw passengers back in their seats when I gun it.

With the car being so low to the ground, it handles very well. Taking corners at 70 km/h are a breeze.

The black leather interior is very classy and comfortable, and matches well with the black dash and tinting.

The temperature controls are excellent, with the air conditioning being ice cold, and the heat taking only a few minutes to warm up the inside.

The stock stereo is surprisingly good, although I'm saving up my money to put in a deck, amp and subs anyway.

The stock muffler is also fairly loud on its own too.

There are many areas for customizable improvement., such as the huge muffler slot that begs to be fitted with a monster custom exhaust.

The stock wheels are much too small as fifteens. Luckily, there is plenty of space in the wheel wells to allow up to 20s to be fitted.

This is my first car, and absolutely love it! I treat it like my baby, and I am a very proud father of having it. My neighbours must think I'm crazy, because I'm always washing, cleaning and polishing my car. Although it has severely hampered my spending budget, it is definitely worth it.

Love the car overall. Normal wear & tear for high mileage car.

That's why I bought 1996 model after 1993.

Nothing has gone wrong yet.

This car is just plain fun to drive. It handles amazingly well and it has a surprising amount of power.

It's very simple to shift and it handles well at all speeds I have driven it.

The MX6 is a sophisticated vehicle yet it offers a very sporty look. Not many cars on the road look similar.

So far I've had no problems. I'm sure the 6 cylinder version would be even more fun to drive, but I'm pretty happy with mine.

Drop dead gorgeous styling, near perfect ergonomics, superb handling, and the most wonderful V6 going. This engine is a soulful, rev-happy sweetheart that pulls to its 7000 rpm redline (and beyond) so willingly it's hard to keep the revs down. It's as smooth at high rpms as any I've driven and has reserves of power at the top that are surprising.

Its reliability is the best I've experienced in any car.

Because of its inherent goodness I've begun a series of major modifications that should at least double the horsepower and give it handling to match. I plan on keeping the car indefinitely.

Faults:

Stabilizer links squeaking.

Great looking car, wish there were more exterior accessories to add on.
