have wondered this for ages and never think to ask anyone when i\'m talking to them, so here goes.. the mazda mx6 is it arse end drive or is it for shopping. not a biggy i know, just one of those questions. saw a nice one today and made a mental note to ask on here.

cheers adie

Think it\'s all front end mate....but dont quote me on it!! If I remember correctly I think they use the Ford V6 in them!!! My sister has got the Mazda V6 MPV from japland and it\'s running a ford 2.5 V6 (might be the 24valver too!!)

FWD it\'s a 626 coupe basically ... like the MX3 is a 323 coupe.

It is also used as the basis for the Ford Probe (NOT the other way round) the 2.5 V6 is a very nice lump, have 2l version in a 323 and it\'s superb all rev\'s and pulls from idle to 7000rpm without fuss

Yes its front wheel drive i came from a probe to the RX, the import ones are 200bhp so worth tracking down as the UK ones and the probes are 165bhp. I put an import motor in mine :D

They are a good chucklable car
