What does this car say about you?

That I take pride in my car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone loves it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I have bought others, I've owned 4 in total. Currently working on a silver import that is going to be more of a race car than a show car. Stock power on that is 200bhp and I'm taking that to around 300bhp.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something with a turbo, perhaps a 200sx, of if money allows a Minaro

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,900

When did you buy the car?

January 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Deal was ok at the time, I paid a little extra as It was won on ebay and I wanted the car more than anyone else. Knocked the price down on collection due to a couple of minor things not mentioned.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Liked the cars for years, had been searching for a good one for sometime before settling on this one. Black, with black leather and all the extras.

What was the dealer like?

Seemed reasonably honest, were quite helpful and open to negotiation on price.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent, uprated suspension makes the ride firmer the addition of uprated rear anti roll bars and strut braces front and rear stiffen the whole chassis and make it corner as if on rails. This car has more grip, than I've got nerve... and I've got a lot of nerve.

What's it like to park?

Simple and easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Heater fan burnt out after about 18 months, which also burntout the resistor pack. Cost to repair was £10, as I sourced a spare from a breaker and fitted it all myself. Replaced lots of other parts as I modify cars to upgrade them.

What's most practical about your car?

It's quick and looks great. Plus the MX6 Owners club at www.mx6oc.co.uk are a great resource when it comes to assisting with advice and repairs.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I've added a proper Mazdaspeed bodykit, reverse glow dials, Work XR01 wheels, uprated tyres, uprated suspension, uprated brakes, redone some paintwork, custom painted interior, stainless steel sills. the list of work is almost endless. The whole car is my fave thing.
