For its final year in production, Mazda's MX-6 sport coupe was available in two versions. The base (or standard) MX-6 was equipped with a 118-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine, while the higher-end LS version was powered by a 164-horsepower, 2.5-liter V6. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, while a four-speed automatic was optional. Standard features for the base model included power brakes, power windows, power door locks, and power exterior mirrors, as well as dual airbags, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, and an AM/FM/cassette audio system. The LS added such features as air conditioning and a sunroof, as well as fog lights, an anti-theft alarm system, and alloy wheels. Options included anti-lock brakes, a CD player, and leather seats (the latter for the LS version only). Better gas mileage was one improvement that could have made the MX-6 better, drivers noted. The backseat was also cramped, making this a tricky car for families. However, drivers liked the MX-6's styling, responsiveness, handling, performance, reliability, and ride.
