1994 Mazda MX3 RS review from North America
"Great!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas tank needs to be replaced, but after 11 years that isn't too bad.
General comments?
This is my second mx3. Picked up a 1994 V6 version after someone smashed into my 1995 4-cylinder. Very reliable car. Didn't have to do anything to the '95 except timing belt (which was due)
The 1994, has a lot of go. Will take out any factory civics (save the SI). Not too bad on gas for a V6. Very comfortable, takes corners like a breeze. It even throws you back into the seat when it's revving past 4000.
Overall a very good car (so good I got the second one). Gas tank needs to be replaced, but after 11 years, that's probably pretty normal. Other than that, no repairs except maintenance. You even get a few looks when you drive by in it. (Although the 12 inch subs help that!) Picked it up for $5500 with 118,000km so you're definitely getting a fair amount of car for the money.
Definitely recommend picking one up if you can get one, especially the V6.
9/10 on everything.
