Mazda 616 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1970–1978) — First Generation
The first-generation Mazda 616 offers Coupe and Sedan body styles. If you are considering one today, weigh your preferred styling against practical needs, and pay close attention to the condition of the individual car.
The Mazda 616 engine drives the rear wheels through a manual transmission in the selected 1.6 MT Coupe and Sedan examples. Both use gasoline, and you control the clutch and gear changes yourself. On a test drive, check that the clutch engages smoothly and the gearbox shifts without grinding.
