Whats funny about the comment about "it sounds like a porsche" is that Porsche actually helped in the development and creation of the K-series engine family, so yes, your car has a little bit of porsche in it .

And about the fresh styling. In overseas markets, Mazda sold the MX3 until 1998. thats a pretty long run for a single generation of a car, from 1991-1998....8 years

Yea, when i was at the races this weekend the anouncer stated while I was on the Line "I don't really know what kinda car that is, but I think its a mazda" then before I start he stated "Ladies and Gentalmen, for those that don't know, that car is actually a mazda MX-3, we don't see those too often"

hehee

haha, I know exactly what you mean.

when I took my car to the track last year, the announcer was like "now there's a Nova Super Sport pulling up to the line, and a new Honda CRX"

I was lmao.

haha.. kinda off subject but i've seen a few Legends with skylines body kits and taillights that made me look twice.. and even this one Mitsubishi Galant that had BMW emblems and crap.. took me a while but then i was like wait a tick, that cheapass piece of crap LOL

HAH! Ya, I've had two adults ask me what year Porsche I had...the only other misidentities were a Civic HB and "Hey is that the new VW"...yea I don't get that one either.

SE-MAN...LOL great story!

MikeUK...MX3 a smaller verision of the MX5..LOL..omgah that would be site to see...that would be like a "SMART" made by Mazda...then maybe a 1.8v6 would make sense!!!!!

i know porsche had a hand in it, thats what makes it so much better

There's a guy that i was talking to on another board recently where he called my Mx-3 a cheep Porsche 928 rip-off. He's from eurupe so i can see why he would think that way, but i'm lucky if i see a handfull of porsches during the summer, but i see what me means:

I've been asked if my car's a Porche also. It's also been called an Integra, Civic, MX-6, Eclipse, even a Geo Storm. I also have a traffic ticket where the cop listed my car as a 1992 Mazda RX-7. It doesn't help that i took off all my emblems.

Haha I haven't had too much said about mine. Most people have no idea what it is. In addition, I don't drive mine too much as of lately since my timing belt is having "issues" but otherwise, I've had only a couple people look at it strangely... "What the heck is that?!"

I don't recall anyone calling it a porshe or any other type of car but that's probably cuz of the huge dent on the passenger door thanks to the prior owner... yet to be fixed... *sigh*

The only time I'll find someone who knows what type an MX-3 is when I run into someone who owns one. I live near Ft. Gordon and 3 of the 5 functioning MX-3s (this includes my own) I've ever seen in Augusta belong to military guys from places like Washington and Michigan.

it is true nobody knows this car. i've never gotten porsche, but i have had the geo storm

I'm starting to remember all the other times that my car has been mistaken for other cars: integra, eclipse, crx, porsche. All of which I can sorta understand, from certain angles the mx3 does look like all of those cars.

ive heard Del Sol a few times... that kinda ticked me off

Is it actually true that Porsche had a hand in developing that line of engines? any links or anything?

one thing ive noticed is the rear end of a camaro is similar to the mx3's

ive heard, porsche, supra, caviler, and del-sol. Ive come to the assumption that the world is full of stupid idiotic uneducated bastards, but thats just my view on it.

I would say Porsche had some input into the design of our car considering this URL:
