    At current prices (mid 2004) you get a lot of car for your money.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Mazda servicing not cheap, but hasn't needed many non service items so isn't that bad overall. Around 30mpg on a run. Insurance only £200 now I'm getting old!

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Enough handling & power to make it very entertaining & satisfying to drive. Excellent A-road car if you want to fly, relaxing drive if you don't.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No Ferrari, but good torque (not much gear changing) & quick enough to be fun for an ex- 750cc biker.

    Reliability

    Superb. Apart from new front disks, just standard consumables.

    Mine looks a lot better in the flesh than some MX-6 photos. Turns a few heads and draws admiring comments from acquaintances. Certainly stands out as not being an ordinary car & I love the way it looks.

    Comfort

    Better than average, in my experience.
