The Mazda 626 MX6 GF, produced from 1998 to 2002, marked a significant shift for the popular sport coupe. This generation, internally known as the GF platform, represented a complete departure from its predecessors, adopting a more refined and sophisticated design. While retaining the sporty spirit that defined its lineage, the MX6 GF embraced a more mature approach, offering a blend of performance and comfort. This transition was evident in the car's exterior design, which abandoned the sharp, angular lines of its predecessor for smoother, more flowing curves. The interior, too, received a complete overhaul, featuring a more luxurious and driver-focused cabin with a wealth of advanced features including a sophisticated audio system and an array of ergonomic controls. Under the hood, the 1998 to 2002 Mazda 626 MX6 GF offered a choice of two powerful engines: a 2.0L four-cylinder and a 2.5L V6. Both engines were renowned for their smooth operation and responsive performance, delivering a thrilling driving experience. The robust suspension system, engineered for both precision handling and a comfortable ride, further enhanced the MX6 GF's overall driving dynamics. The GF platform also incorporated a range of safety features, including anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags, and side impact protection, making the MX6 GF one of the most secure and well-rounded sport coupes of its time. Despite its sophisticated design and advanced features, the MX6 GF maintained a relatively affordable price point, making it an attractive option for discerning enthusiasts seeking a performance-oriented car without breaking the bank.
