The Mazda 626 MX-6, a sleek and sporty coupe, was a popular choice among drivers seeking a balance between performance and practicality. Produced from 1988 to 1997, the 1996 model year marked the end of the second generation, which had been redesigned for 1993. The MX-6, a sister car to the Ford Probe, shared a platform and many components with the more practical Mazda 626. It was known for its distinctive styling, with sloping lines, a long hood, and a raked windshield. Its front-engine, front-wheel drive layout provided a comfortable and predictable driving experience.

Under the hood, the 1996 MX-6 offered two engine options: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 2.5-liter V6. Both engines were mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering adequate performance for everyday driving. The more powerful V6 engine, with its 164 horsepower, made the MX-6 a fun and engaging car to drive, while the four-cylinder engine provided better fuel economy. The 1996 MX-6 boasted a comfortable interior with ample space for two passengers and some cargo in the trunk. Its standard features included power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and an AM/FM stereo system, while higher trim levels offered leather upholstery, heated seats, and a sunroof. Though not a performance powerhouse, the MX-6 offered a unique combination of style, comfort, and practicality, making it a desirable choice for drivers looking for a stylish and comfortable coupe.
