14. Mazda MX-6 GT
The Mazda MX-6 GT made waves in the late ’80s as a turbocharged front-wheel-drive coupe that blended performance with everyday comfort. Going head-to-head with the likes of the Toyota Celica and Ford Probe, the MX-6 GT featured lively acceleration, responsive handling, and a surprisingly refined ride. Despite cultivating a loyal enthusiast base, this sporty coupe gradually slipped into obscurity. Today, the MX-6 GT stands as a compelling yet often forgotten option in the era’s fun-to-drive segment.
