Mazda MX-3 1.8i 3d (1997/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Picked mine up fairly cheaply considering it had only done 48,000 miles and was in good condition.
Costs
Petrol consumption is a nightmare, especially if driven hard.

On the road
Driving
Lower driving position than standard cars.
Performance
The quickest thing I've had by far, though not much power in the low revs. It corners very well.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far and with Mazda reliabilty there should be few.
Image
Quite a rare car that gets plenty of looks, especially as nobody knows what it is.
Comfort
Seats can be a bit uncomfortable on long journeys and there isn't much room in the back. Boot space is ok.

Security and Service
Security
The doors lock and it has an immobiliser but that's it.
Service
Have not delt with them yet.
