Model Reviewed: V6

Strength:

handling, speed, torque,....also, not a lot of people kno about mx-6s so if u race urs, u really have a car that can move. 0-60 in 7.5 seconds isnt bad. and u can get to 60 in 3rd...but rev it out high in 2nd cuz that is where a lot of the power is. The mx-6 ls is a fast, strong car stock...but w/ upgrades, its even better

Weakness:

paint isnt so great and the plastic in the interior feels kinda cheap...these 2 weaknesses are probably b/c the car is made in america.....but its the engine that is japanese and wonderful......and my saying is, "whats on the outside is only sheet metal deep....its under the hood that truly counts"
also, it is hard to find parts for this car being that it is discontinued

The MX-6 LS is an awesome car,and i coulndn't ask for more. It's got a lot of torque all around, but especailly in second. and it can move. When i first drove mine, the first thing i noticed was the nice, smooth clutch. then i went into second and pretty much got pulled back from the power. then i took some, turns and the handling was just beautiful....shifted smoothly, turned easily. Mine has a flowmaster exhaust, K&N air intake, platinum sparks, so the perfomance is definately boosted. V6, 2.5 litre 24 valve...all under the hood of a beautiful japanese sports car. definately a great car. It's a lot of fun to just whip around turns so smoothly and feel the car hug the road, then shift into a higher gear and accelerate and feel the car take off.

Strength:

Handles like a wet dream!!!
Smooth, quick, responsive V6.
Will not break down.

Weakness:

Loose, notchy feeling in the transmission (manual)
Power windows need a lot more power
Heavy clutch

This car is the cheapest "eye-turner" you'll find. Seriously, MX-6s are so rare on the roads, everyone turns to see yours. GET IT WITH THE SPOILER...it looks like a Ford Probe without a spoiler, and we don't want that now, do we?

No anti-lock brakes, though, for obvious sport handling reasons. But the 4-disc will lock the tires in a hurry at high speeds, so watch it. Front-wheel drive affords better control, as well as more weight over the drive wheels. This car is light - it would spin out with rear-wheel drive.

Second gear has all the power you'll need, from 15mph all the way up to 50. "It's my favorite gear!" You'll feel it sink you back in your seat once you reach 3000. I love popping the clutch at 3200rpm and rocketing off the line after a brief chirp of the tires.

Toyota Celica - MX-6 is faster and quieter. Celica is less jarring on bumps.

A great car, purchased in 93 and only a few problems since. Fun to drive and sleek look that can be recognized by anyone. It's unique design sets it apart from all other cars.
