1995 Mazda MX3 Precidia review from North America
"Great Car Good Price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car I was told that a bearing should be replaced, but that was all that was wrong with the car. I took the car to a mechanic who not only replaced the wrong bearing, he did a bad job putting the new one in so now it squeaks. Instead of fixing the problem he only made it worse.
After driving the car for a couple of months I have noticed that the engine has developed a knock. I went to a mechanic an was told that I should get oil additive put in so the oil can get in to the hydraulic cylinders and that this should stop the knock. I have not yet done this however, but plan to in a few days.
The keys for this car are not very good. Since I bought the car two months ago I have had to get three new keys cut because they keep bending on me.
Other than these small things the car is great and I haven't noticed any other problems.
General comments?
As my car is a V6 standard it is very quick.
The parts for this car don't seem too expensive, but the labor is.
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails.
I can't seem to find information about the car like the horsepower, does anybody know where to find this out?
