The mx6 gets no love here.

Some of the best seats I've experienced were in a clapped-out mx6. It's a neat car.

A decent engine, 4-wheel steering and a nice driving position. Looks better with the spoiler though.

If only it had been RWD, it'd make one sweet Silvia competitor.

Pretty sure that's a Probe, dude.
They were neat cars, as far as FWD coupes go. Could be had with a decent V6 and 5-speed manual. The back seat backs were kinda cool. Too bad we didn't get the JDM version of the KL V6, that offered up ~200hp.

The only time I see them is on the side of the road either abandoned or with hazards on. There is a reason I avoid them.

Awesome engine too. Short-stroke ultra lightweight V6? Yes please.

I liked those too. Almost bought one as a late model used car.

And I had one! '94 Probe GT turned autocrosser, turned road race car. Got classed with the Integra GSR and Type R and was soundly trounced on a weekly basis.
Loved that car. Only because it was my first car/race car.
Then I got a '92 MR2 Turbo and forgot all about the Probe... until I found out how unforgiving short wheelbase cars are.

I drove one for the better part of three years, then bequeathed it to my brother. Great handling car, great power and comfort for the era if you get the LX V6. I loved that car. Even drove it offroad a fair amount for work, to the chagrin of the balljoints.
At 195,000 miles it was retired. I bought it for $2,000 with 135k, and breathed new life into it, but the previous owner was not kind to it. It fried all of its injector wiring. y brother is looking to sell it, or part it out if he can't get enough for it.

This is the reason why I want one, It's overshadowed by many other cars from Mazda.

honestly, I question the build quality on them. Probes used to be everywhere, and now it's outright surprising when I see one.

Please elaborate? A quick google didn't tell me what happened here...
