1992 Mazda MX3 review from North America
"Just plain excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only things that have gone wrong are the computer needed to be reset because it was idling hard and the brakes have sqeeled a few times.
General comments?
The car has been great since I purchased it. I know I have not had it for long, but it has proven to be beyond my expectations. I never expected a 12 years old car to still run perfectly smoothly and accelerate quickly, but this car continues to do so. The car is quick, sleek and sporty and handles very well. I can make turns at 80 km/h and not feel like I am on the verge of flipping over. I am so glad my cousin talked me out of buying the Sunfire I was looking at and instead talked me into taking this MX3. This car has proven to be everything I was looking for. I have to hand it to Mazda. They sure designed one very good car in the MX3.
