Question 1

What engine should I look for in a Mazda MX-6?

Accepted Answer

For JDM models, the KL-ZE 2.5L DOHC V6 is the top-tier engine. It delivers 200 PS and offers a high-revving, linear powerband. Lower-spec models may feature the KF-ZE (160 PS), but if you're importing, the KL-ZE is worth the premium.

Question 2

Is the Mazda MX-6 a good investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes—especially clean GE-chassis models with the KL-ZE V6. They're still undervalued, particularly in Japan, and appeal to collectors as analog, high-revving coupes. Values have already started climbing in Europe and the U.S.

Question 3

How reliable is the Mazda MX-6 GE?

Accepted Answer

Very reliable if properly maintained. Watch for timing belt interval (it's an interference engine), minor oil consumption at higher mileage, power steering leaks, and some gearbox wear. Japanese-kept cars typically suffer less due to easier driving conditions and routine maintenance.
