The 1996 Mazda 626 MX-6 is a sporty coupe that offered a compelling blend of performance and practicality. Built on the same platform as the Mazda 626 sedan, the MX-6 differentiated itself with a sleek, sloping roofline and a more aggressive design language. It was available in two trims: the base MX-6 and the upscale MX-6 LS. Power came from a 2.5-liter V6 engine capable of producing 164 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The MX-6 offered responsive handling thanks to its independent suspension and well-balanced chassis, making it a fun car to drive on winding roads. Features like power windows, locks, and mirrors came standard, while options included a sunroof, leather upholstery, and a premium sound system. Despite its sporty image, the MX-6 also offered a surprisingly roomy interior for a coupe. The front seats were comfortable and supportive, and there was enough space in the rear for two adults. The cargo area was also generous for its class, allowing for easy transport of luggage and other items. While its fuel economy was average for the time, the MX-6's combination of performance, style, and practicality made it a popular choice for drivers looking for an engaging and affordable coupe. The 1996 model year saw a few minor updates, including revised taillights and a slightly redesigned grille, but overall, it remained a visually striking and dynamically capable vehicle. The MX-6's legacy continues to resonate with enthusiasts who appreciate its unique blend of performance, style, and practicality, making it a sought-after classic in the world of affordable sports coupes.
