1992 Mazda MX3 GS review from North America
"Great fast little Honda killer at 140mph+"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator/ ac belt broke on it. But I think its was the original belt, it still had a Mazda parts label printed on the belt. The front valve cover gasket started to leak a little, but I put some gasket sealer on it and pit it back on and it stopped the leak and runs great.
General comments?
This car runs great and corners like my Honda after I totally redid the struts and lowered it. I haven't done anything to this mx-3 but a grounding kit. I love how comfortable the seats are, they wrap around you and hold you still no matter how you drive. The only thing that's get me is the seat belts get stuck and lock then you reach for the stereo or something.
