1993 Mazda MX3 EX review from North America
"This is the best car I have yet to own."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car I had to replace the Drive Axel, which cost $150.57, which got down about a month after I purchased the car.
After that I had to replace the Clutch, which cost about $600, and that was after I have had it for about 3 months.
Then, the last and current repair, is the rear drive differential.
All above parts are high performance which explains the high prices.
General comments?
This car has the smoothest handling and ride performance in any other car I've ever test driven.
It has great acceleration and a very smooth turning.
It's low to the ground, so if you're a big guy, it's sometimes hard to get out of the first couple of times.
