Faults:

The brake fluid line was leaking, but has been fixed.

The trunk hydraulics that keep the trunk open have gone bad and were easily replace for around 40 dollars.

Lastly the power steering went out and that was not easily replace. But it was done for around 1,000 dollars.

Other than that the car is in great shape!

General Comments:

This car is incredible. It is very fast and along with the redone interior and the pipe I put on it, it make for a very fun ride. I have been looking things up for the 1993 MX6's and from what I have read, there is a built in turbo that is in the head. It isn't the conventional turbo though, it is turbo pistons or something similar to that. I took out the stock cold air intake, but kept the intake tube that has the O2 sensor on it and stuck an APC filter in it to make it a little more attractive.

Nothing.

General Comments:

A truly sensational car and definitely the best I have ever owned.

The MX6 was a fast car - acceleration from rest was superb and easily embarrassed a couple of lads in a tuned Renault 5 GT turbo, much to their annoyance!! The engine was smooth, quiet, powerful and flexible - it would pick up happily from 20mph in 5th gear and yet I reached the rev limiter on the first week I owned it and only realised because the acceleration stopped coming!!

It also gave a steady 26-28mpg no matter how hard or gently I drove it.

Handling was superb - drive fast into a corner, lift off and the back end would slip out nicely and could be opposite locked easily round the rest of the bend (not that I condone this sort of hooligan behaviour on public roads!!).

The car was well equipped, comfortable, stylish and I loved it.

The only slight downsides I can think of were, firstly, road noise was higher than I was used to in my previous Senator, but not intrusive and less than in a Toyota Celica I test drove.

Secondly, it was also quite short-geared. This made for superb acceleration in any gear from any speed, but a 6th gear would have been nice for motorway cruising, and the engine would easily have coped with it.

Finally - main dealers! The one I used was polite, courteous and made me feel like a very special person. I was kept well-informed and the car came back gleaming, but, boy, do they charge for it!!

A full 72000 mile service with no work required was 340UKP and this needs carrying out every 6000 miles so I would recommend finding an independent specialist.

So, why did I only keep it 9 months? Simple - I proposed to the girlfriend and it had to go to help pay for the wedding and honeymoon. I haven't ever let her forget this, I have her blessing to buy another one and it WILL be happening!!!

Faults:

Some things that have gone wrong was that the exhaust system had completely rusted away. Replaced for $600 because I know someone. Leaks a little oil, but don't know why. Dashboard has to be replaced because the sun has made it warped. But last, but not least the trunk leaked water, but was easily fixed.

I love this car. It's really fast, but I keep getting pulled over (I wonder why). Well even with stock parts this car can speed. But back seat is very small and cramped. Takes lots of gas bit again all I do is speed.
