1997 Mazda MX-6 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

--Performance: awesome acceleration, shocks a lot of guys in their Civics. Brakes are pretty good, and the only car that I've driven that handles better is a Mini Cooper S. --Build Quality: these cars are VERY well built, it's not uncommon to hear of them lasting for up to 170k. I've not had to replace a single part on this car yet, and I've had it since June, 2009. The only rattle is the rear deck inside the car, it's a large plastic piece, and is a little loose. --Appearance: The outside looks ok, with a front lip, rear bumper extensions, new wheels, and a lowering kit, the car would look great! Supra taillights are also a popular mod for this car. Interior is pretty nice as well, everything is well-placed. --Cost of Ownership: Mine has only costed me gas and insurance so far, MPGs are in the 23-25 range for me, and nothing has broken on mine (of course, mine only has 58k miles on it, so that helps). --Fun Factor: This car is a BLAST TO DRIVE!!! My only complaint is that it is FWD, and I wish it were rear instead, if it had that and a six-speed, this car would be near-perfect. The car has a really high gear-ratio, I looked it up, and the website said 4:10, but I'm not sure if it's that high. Great for acceleration, and it still gets good mileage, so I guess not too bad, a six-speed would make it so much better though.Oct 07, 2010

Easy to drive, handles great; at 120,000 miles haven't had any major repairs at all; interior is a nice beige leather, shows a tad of wear, exterior is a generic "high resale" white; one tank of gas lasts about 400 miles and with regular oil changes and checkups, I have sidestepped any major repairs; absolutely most fun cars to drive and I've driven much newer and more expensive car than mine.Aug 22, 2008
