The 89 MX6 5 speed was a great car. 2.2L, 12 valve offered plenty of power (125ish) while being miserly on the gas for a car of its size (my experience was consistently 32-37 with moments of greatness on the roadtrip managing 40-41mpg). Unfortunately I miled mine out fast, putting on 180k miles in the first five years of ownership, selling it to a friend who drove it to 232k, at which point there were more things going wrong with it than was worth fixing. Probably used too heavy an oil for too many years and spent way too much time at redline.
