1993 Mazda MX3 review from UK and Ireland
"A inexpensive coupe with great looks and excellent reliability, I highly recommend them!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
C.V. joints wore out and were replaced by the dealer.
Front coil springs made a noise when the steering was turned (apparently grease was enough to fix this).
General comments?
The car handles beautifully.
Has a lovely driving position.
On the negative side, if you are tall you may need to dislocate a few joints to get in the door, particularly if someone else parks beside you. I suppose most two doors are like this but in the MX3 the low seats make it worse.
Once you have negotiated the door, there is loads of leg and head room in the front at least.
The boot door is a bit heavy to lift also, which is a bit annoying.
The gear change is very nice and overall, despite a few glitches, I love the car.
If you in the Rep. of Ireland however, beware of the insurance costs.
