1992 Mazda MX3 GS review from North America
"Expensive to maintain performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to put a clutch in. The CV joints went bad. Tires go bad often and are expensive to replace.
General comments?
The car is a very good for street racing and performance.
It has lots of performance for the small engine it has.
It has very good handling although the steering itself is a bit rough.
It's not as good on gas as I thought it would be.
The seats are very uncomfortable.
General road travel will cause the interior of the car to rattle and drive you nuts.
