1994 Mazda MX3 GS review from North America
"Fun little rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car there was nothing wrong with it. However, the "Low Oil" light was not working and I ran the car bone dry. As a result one of the lifters in the engine seems to be knocking. However, other than that there have been no problems... as yet.
General comments?
My overall impression of the car is that is was designed really well. In that it really gives the driver the sporty feel that it sets out to give the driver.
However, I would have liked the car to come with the 626 engine as the GS model in stead of a 1.8 V6 which only gives an additional 15HP over the base 1.6L.
