The first Mazda Xedos 6 was shown in 1991 in Tokyo. This model is a trademark with which Mazda wanted to increase sales in the European market. Initially, production of two versions was launched: Xedos 6 and Xedos. The first was produced until 1999 (both with right and left-hand drive). The exterior of the Mazda Xedos 6 is based on the principle of biodesign. At that time, this model corresponded to fashionable and smooth body shapes.
A Brief History
Already in 1993, the model was successfully sold all over the world. There was only one body - a classic sedan. A year later, the company decided to work on improving the car and restyling it, which resulted in the emergence of new models: Eunos 800 and Xedos 9. But 1997 crossed out further production: Ford decides to stop producing this model, with one exception. For the American market, Mazda Xedos continued to be produced. The reason for this was the great demand and good demand. During the release, she managed to become a sort of competitor to the "troika" from BMW.
Specifications Mazda Xedos 6
The Japanese car has a reliable clutch as standard, which is recommended to be changed every 200,000 km, which is already a lot. Gearbox - five-speed mechanics or four-speed automatic transmission. Changing the box oil, according to experts, should be done at least every 70,000 km. The timing belt will last about 100,000 km of normal driving. The body at that time provided good protection. The transmission is considered the most stable, only the stabilizer struts will last 50,000 km.
Today, these models have non-original mufflers, which does not promise long-term operation.

Salon
The materials used and the fit ensure the quality of the car's interior. The main disadvantage is its small size. A person with high stature or large volume will be uncomfortable. The most common unpleasant sound during operation is the rear shelf. The package includes an airbag, ABS system, power accessories and air conditioning, some models have leather trim.
Electronics behave reliably, but it happened that the power window control unit stopped working: due to the design of the car, this mechanism is vulnerable to moisture ingress.

According to the owners, driving and design of the car is a complete pleasure. The best fuel is 95th gasoline. Price and mileage are exactly the same.
