The 1990 929, Mazda's full-sized sedan, saw a number of important changes for the model year. The sporty S model was introduced, featuring a more powerful engine and a sportier suspension. Overall, the 929 got a restyled grille and bumpers and two-tones paint.

The 1990 Mazda 929 comes in two trims. The base level came well equipped, with a 3.0-liter, 158 horsepower four cylinder engine. The S model came with sport-tuned suspension, anti-lock breaks, and a 3.0-liter 190 horsepower V6. Fuel economy for the base model was 19/23, and for the V6 it was 18/22.

Drivers like the 1990 929 because it is roomy and comfortable, and say the V6 is especially enjoyable to drive. Some owners have had problems with the leather seats cracking, and many say that when the car needs repair, parts can be very expensive.
