The MX-6 Turbo might be the last undervalued Japanese turbo coupe left.
While everyone fights over MR2 Turbos and 240SXs, the 1988-92 MX-6 GT has been quietly sitting at reasonable prices with a factory turbo F2T making 145hp — modest on paper, but these things punch way above their weight on a back road. Shared platform with the Ford Probe GT means parts availability is surprisingly decent, and the GD chassis has a balance that most people don't expect until they actually drive one.
Here's what we broke down:
→ Why this car slipped through the cracks of the JDM hype cycle
→ What the driving experience is actually like (spoiler: it's sharp)
→ The platform details that matter — independent rear suspension, LSD availability, turbo plumbing that responds well to simple bolt-ons
→ The stuff that WILL need money on day one — timing belt, turbo seals, and 35-year-old rubber everywhere
→ Where to look and what red flags to walk away from
These aren't going to stay cheap forever. The Japane...
