    More Than Just Daily Wear And Tear.. But I Still Won't Give It Up — Well, At the moment, MX-6 GT Turbo (note.. that is the trim, if it was selectable), is awaiting parts. I race it out at Mosport, and, well.. even with regular maintenance things happen. So, as for what my friends dislike about it is the fact that it's off the road at the moment, some complain about the suspension being a bit too firm. 2 doors.. etc.. What they like about it, is it moves like a cheetah with it's tail on fire. (ok.. usually that is).. Until I get it prettied up again,. I will omit a picture ;)

    The Best First Car A Guy Could Ask For. — Although rated at only 110 bhp, the 2.2L 4-cylinder is very torquey, and capable of accelerating the car very quickly, especially when equipped with the manual transmission. Top speed is governed at 185 km/h, although I believe it could do about 200 without the governer. It also reaches that speed fairly quickly. As with most Mazdas, the handling is it's biggest performance feature, and the MX-6 is no exception. Steering is very quick and responsive, and the grip is extraordinary. The brakes also do an admirable job of hauling the car down from speed, despite the rear brakes being drums. This car is also extremely reliable, as the powertrain is one of the longest lasting I have ever seen. The styling is also quite tasteful, and allows for a decent amount of room in the backseat.

    Pros: Fast, handles like nothing else in it's class, excellent gearbox, well equipped, extremely fun to drive, and very reliable.

    Cons: As with all 2-door cars, carrying more than one passenger can be a bit difficult, especially if said passengers are larger specimens.

    Was A Good Car Until It Started To Fall Apart.. — Was a good car until I had an accident and then everything went down hill with it.

    Pros: It was comfortable and fast

    Cons: it fell apart on me

    Great For Long Trips Not Long Legsd — if you have long legs you won't like it but is is a great dependable car and it saves you on outrageous gas prices these days and you can take it on long trips . can you say that a new car is the best these days i know i cant they make with all kinds of crap they dont need

    Primary Use: Commuting to work

    Pros: they don't make cars like this anymore

    Cons: you burn the valves in them  and your car might be going to the crusher
