Used 1997 Mazda MX-6 Consumer Reviews
The best car I've ever had
I just sold my MX-6 after 7 great years, It couldn't grow with my family! I've had a Toyota and a Nissan before this and this was more reliable than the other 2. Power was average below 3k but it was excellent above 4500. Still runs 120+
Good Car
Unfortunately, I haven't had the best luck with the mechanical features of this car. Problems started springing up at about 65,000 miles. Mostly nuisance stuff, but it adds up. Overall, it is a good car. It handles great, accelerates well, and rides nice. It is a little noisy. But, it is one of the nicest looking cars on the road.
My Mx6
This car is incredibly fun to drive, and is easy to do modifications to. My first car ever and will always be loved. Things start to go as the car ages, however, so reliability is not the best, however nothing too serious. The fun experienced by simply driving this machine makes up for any problems though. It's a great car for the young and old driving enthusiast, and especially for those into upgrading/modifying vehicles.
Great Car for the money
This is actually my third MX-6 I've owned but the other two were 93's. This one I like a lot more then the other two. It has a more luxurious look with the added on M-Edition label. Also the OBDII is nice to have. The handling and get up and go really add to the fun factor of this car. I couldn't be happier and I'd recommend buying this car to almost anyone.
Expensive maintenance, poor pockets
Expensive, meaning - Japanese, need I say more??? Even if you buy domestic, it seems that service depts suck, suck you dry that is. It's bad enough that I made a bad decision on my choice of cars to buy, but then when it needs repairs, no body wants to work on it, cuz everything's too hard to get to....under this, behind that. When you finally do find someone who won't rip you off for labor charges, the parts still put you in the poor house. ADVISE: If you're going to buy a (somewhat) high performance foreign car, you first must be willing & able to dish out lots of coin.
