1993 Mazda MX3 review from North America
"Mx3's are lemons"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes have been replaced twice.
The clutch has been replaced twice.
The water pump has been replaced.
The driver's side window motor and grips went bad, and were replaced.
The rotors have been replaced.
The ball-joint broke.
The front springs cracked and broke.
The automatic seat belt motor is going bad.
General comments?
This car is a very sporty car and gets 30 miles to the gallon, 40 on freeway.
However, the MX3 is very expensive to repair and is time to retire only at age 10.
