    That's my old car! I actually did the exhaust and tint on it. Glad to see it

  • @fritzngrits2272
    @fritzngrits2272 Год назад +8

    Wow! I bought that EXACT car brand new in ‘89. Color, interior, whale tail, everything! I put 400k miles on it in 11 years, put a Ford Probe engine in it at 250k mikes and it ran great until it finally was rusting out completely. All miles in VT winters. Your review was spot on, everyone loved the oscillation of the fans the most. Great car, missed the retracting antennae. Would always get dirty and not always retract.

    I love the style of these Mazda's. I loved the MX6 and 626 of this gen. I went in a turbo MX6 and it went like a rocket. Great cars. 👍

    I still have my 1988 Mazda MX6, GT turbo with stick, still in very good condition. It is very hard to find parts for, now. It still drives well, though, and I want to restore it to OEM, basically put in repairs. The rumor had it that the seats are recaro design, but this is a rumor.

    Cars weren't known for having very many (if any) cupholders in cars/ trucks in the 80's.. it became more standard in the 90's.

    In the UK, this is known as the 626 GT Coupe.
    I had one for a couple of years, and it was a great car!

    I’m Australian and this was my second car, albeit the turbo 5sp version. The only car I really miss and would jump at the chance of getting a good one. Watch out for oil cooler leaks on the turbo.

    I had one just like this back in 99-00, bought it at an auction for 1700, put a new starter in it and put 30k miles on it and then sold it at the same auction for 1400, it was a heck of a deal really. Other than the aforementioned starter, I never had an issue with the car, the ac was even working up until a few weeks before I sold it. Good car.

  • @Turbovanilli

    Maybe it’s because we had so many of them over here in Australia

    Cool review, they are some what under rated cars. I had a 2nd gen 1996 MX6 V6; bought in 2011 with 149,434 km (92,853 miles), sold 2019 w/184,400 km (114,580 miles). Quite peppy with the v6, pretty rare to see around these days. Sold the 6 after I got my 2nd gen miata (#3). The MX6 felt like a rocket driven back to back. Always enjoyed the MX5 more, even if they are slower :)

    It was called 626 coupe in EU. Never seen Capella name. The main difference was the engine. EU didn't get the turbo model, but got 2.0 16V NA version, that had the same power as the turbo 2.2 12v.

    I had the turbo version. Heaps of fun but it was a turd. Torque steer would send you across the road when the boost kicked in, had leaky seals everywhere and most of the gauges failed. Wish I still had it though.

      The automatic is a weak spot of these cars, but I had one with about 239k on it before it went out. It was my first car and I wish it was a manual. The engine is very reliable.

    MAZDA626か。日本ではCapellaカペラC²って言うんだよ。シティ・クーペの略だよ。ぼくは赤いのに乗っていた。
    ブリスターフェンダー、電子制御4WSが売りで、ケツの形が良い。ただ、電子系統が弱い。エンジンはマツダ自慢のロータリーではないが、良いレシプロエンジンを積んでいた。
