Daily Driver - MX6 Turbo compared to Camry/Rolla Tue, 06 September 2005 02:08 Go to next message
I'm looking at a new car to replace my KE70. I don't want to spend much at all, its only to drive until my RA23 is done and eventually give to my sister when she gets her licence.

One option is a 1988 MX6 2.2L Turbo for $1700 neg. All that needs to be done is speedo cable, front tyre and brakes. It has done 190000km's... I'm just unsure of how reliable the turbo will be after this long. Anyone know anything about these cars? From general research these seem to go for anywhere between $2-5K...

I also have the option of an SV21 Camry or an AE82/AE92 running a 4AGE/4AFE respectively. I know these won't let me down, but the MX6 is tempting with power windows/sunroof, cruise, bit more power, etc... I'm just unfamiliar with Mazdas and haven't owned a turbo car... would it be best to avoid it and stick with my NA Toyotas?

Cheers

Get the camry or rolla, unless you have deep pockets to keep the mazda running.

My turbo car has only had issues that are not related to the fact that it's turbo. Maybe i've been lucky?

For a daily though, i wouldn't get a turbo. Can't go wrong with a camry or rolla.

Having driven all these and owned the AE82 ide go the Roller.

If you like torque steer go the Turbo,

if you like pensioner cars go the Camry.....sorry

IMO the Roller is the most fun to drive and will cost you less to own.

Obviously it depends on the condition of all of them

KE70 is a no go for conversions, shes had it. Don't really want another Rolla, I barely fit in my KE70 and the same story with my mates AE92, I'm 6'3.

Hopefully I'll only be driving a camry for a few months until I get a chance to finish off my Celica.
