Not for everyone

Great style, accurate handling, a well- engineered powerplant and lots of fun to drive are the good features. Poor build quality and cheap assembly materials are the major complaints. The M Edition was only built for one year, making it a rarity among the rare. MX6 was pricey when new, so the car didn't sell well compared to the near identically outfitted Probe. If you like exclusivity and can deal with the few problems (all simple and easily fixed with good information on the Web), this is a great car.

Car has 91,000 mi. & I hate to part with it.Still an eye catcher and runs great. Except for necessary maintenance have had few problems. Still as happy with it after 13 yrs. except for fuel economy. Why can't they build something that looks and behaves like this? I'm waiting!

I Absolutely loved having my mx-6. I had it for about a year and a half, but now I got a baby on the way so I had to trade it in for something bigger. This car did wonderful for me, the engine was very strong, the suspension, though softer then I wanted, was pretty smooth, and it was unique on the road. I would buy again, despite the high cost of parts.

Everytime I try to sell this car for something new I keep coming back to it. What a great price for a smooth looking V6! The cupholder situation, as others mentioned, is a joke. The 3Disc in dash CD changer is sweet. No mechanical issues to speak of.

Words can't describe how thankful I am for this car. Unfortunately the car just got totaled, but saved lives. Everyone walked out without a scratch, it's a miricle. The safety for this car is unbelievably amazing, super fun to drive too and will truly be missed. Amazing car all around and would recommend to anybody. The body is so tough, it's a life saver.
