1997 Mazda MX-6 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
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.

It's a Mazda.. What's not to love? It's fun to drive in the city or on the highway, it handles great, very roomy interior, actually has some pep under the hood, easy to maintain, easy to drive, very reliable. Great car all around.Oct 29, 2011

--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

You all know about the Mazda. She's taken down many cars in her day. With the one xenon she stood out at night frighten anyone she came up behind. Like a hawk she would swoop down and take out her pray.May 14, 2009

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

Had a great time with this car. Often found myself hoping in for a quick ride and ending up on the other state line. Easy to drive, super reliable, fun to go fast, just only ride two people. Gas mileage was nice too. Definetly a car to pick-up for the hell of it. Aug 20, 2008

Performance - Peppy, the power is evenly distributed. It doesn't jerk you in your seat like previous cars I have driven once it hits the powerband in the higher RPMs.
Build Quality - It is an older car and I haven't had it for very long so I am not really sure on what is to be expected.
Appearance - I think it's a beautiful car. It has great lines and design. Their isn't anything negative that I can think of.
The only interior down fall is it needs extra cup holders and the rear window is very hard to clean from what I have noticed. I don't mind the back being very small, I don't lug anyone around.
I recommend this car to anyone looking for a first car or something to use as project. It definately has potential.Jul 18, 2008
