1994 Mazda MX3 RS review from North America

"Civic's beware"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had the exaust line done when I bought it, it needed it.

I also had to replace the alternator a few months later. Can't complain it ran 10 years on the original.

They say this car has only one fault. Poorly shielded electrical components under the hood (alternator) allow snow and salt in the winter to cause short alternator expectancy. Mazda claims it's due to it's "unique" design.

General comments?

I really like this car. It isn't bad in the snow either, with descent tires that is.

Often enough I cacth people stairing at my car it's sporty look catches eyes.

It is also quite peppy of the line. 106 hp dohc 1.6L the V6 is quite fast, but prone to valve problems. I'd stick with the 4banger.

I paid 4800 for it with 208K. I think it was worth it.

Handles corners like you wouldn't believe. If you're offered one buy it!!
