1991 Mazda AZ3 AZ-3 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Most underestimated car on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump blew after bout 130,000kms.
General wear and tear, tyres etc.
General comments?
Its doesn't look that great, but for a 1.6 it's fast. People often underestimate it and as a result get blown away. All this extra grunt comes from features such as DOHC and multipoint direct fuel injection. Pretty fancy stuff considering I'm 16 and I paid it of with a part time job; It was as cheap as chips
The acceleration is excellent and the handling at both high and low speeds is out of this world, top speed is as good as you could ask from a 1600 5 speed.
