Mazda Xedos 6: specifications and reviews

For the first time, the Mazda Xedos 6 was shown in 1991 in Tokyo. This model is a trademark, with the help of which company Mazda wanted to increase the percentage of sales in the European market. Initially, it was established production of two versions: Xedos 6 and Xedos. The first was produced until 1999 (as with the right and left-hand steering). The exterior of the Mazda Xedos 6 is based on the principle of bio-design. At that time, this model corresponded to the fashionable and smooth body forms.

Short story

Already for 1993 the model was successfully sold all over the world. The body was only one - a classic sedan. A year later the company decided to carry out the work of improving the car and restyling it, resulting in the emergence of new models: Eunos 800 and Xedos 9. But 1997 crossed the further production: Ford decided to stop the production of this model, with one exception. For the American market Mazda Xedos continued to be produced. The reason for this was the high demand and good demand. During the release she managed to become a sort of rival of the "troika" from BMW.

Characteristics of the Mazda Xedos 6

The Japanese car has a standard clutch, which is recommended to change every 200 000 km, which is already quite a lot. The transmission is a five-speed mechanics or a four-speed automatic transmission. The replacement of the oil box, according to experts, should be made at least every 70,000 km. The timing belt will serve about 100 000 km of ordinary driving. The body at that time provided good protection. The transmission is considered to be the most stable, only the stabilizer posts will serve 50,000 km.

To date, these models have non-original silencers, which does not promise long-term operation.
