1992 Mazda MX3 review from North America
"A sporty fast compact that fits into any budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this vehicle in Sept. of 2003, when I drove it home, I noticed a miss-fire in the engine. I thought that it was only the spark plugs or wires, so I replaced those and that didn't help, but I gained horse power. I just recently found out that the miss is caused by a faulty Fuel Injector for my third Cylindar.
Other than that, I have had no problems out of this car.
General comments?
The Mazda MX3 is a great car for the soon to be racer, what it lacks in take-off it makes up for in top end. I am only running on 3/4 Cylindars and I am still able to run 140Mph. on the Interstate.
The handling of this car is outstanding, with this Sport Compact design, the Mazda MX3 is by far the best handling vehicle I have ever owned or driven.
This vehicle is very dependable, easy to maintain, and cost-efficient.
I highly recommend this vehicle for anyone who wants a sporty car with excellent gas mileage.
