FYI you're posting this to people who actually appreciate this car, if you don't like MX-3's or any Mazdas then maybe you should buy a Hon-duh :roll:

Funny because you seemed to like it judging by your previous posts and all the time and work you put into it.
As a final good bye to you all, I picked up a new car, a car which I know well and truly. You say Hon-duh? Well this car is 3 years older than the MX3 was, the body is in far better condition, the under side isn't falling into complete and utter failure and it cost £100 less than the MX3. Hon-duh? I say, f*cking well played, this thing is solid, spotless and will keep going a hell of a lot longer than your heaps of Ford shite!

I am waiting with baited breath for an MX3 to make a magazine feature in the UK, somehow, I don't think that will happen, smell you later losers!

I like reading your posts. Always give me a chuckle.

Ford owned some 27% of Mazda when MX-3's were made, and Mazda built them. They build Fords cars for them, that was the deal. So calling a Probe a Mazda is more accurate than calling a MX-6 a Ford. You're just misinformed.

If you search you'll find various links of MX-3's in magazines, Hectors was in one, and there's an article in grassroots, off the top of my head. I don't know about UK magazines, but then again, I don't care either.

Glad you found a cx. Nice little commuter cars.

And of course, the underside situation of a car has to do with its life, not with its make. I've worked on many-a-honda with much worse rust than my MX...

Cheers with the Honda, I hope it serves you better than the MX.

And don't forget to put more stickers on it, and perhaps a bigger muffler.

I've always liked those cars. In fact, I just spied a leather rear seat for one in my local yard :shrug: .......I've never seen the leather in them before, so I'm thinking that it's quite rare. Anywho, nice car. Enjoy it, and the squirrel under the hood :wink:

Hondas are no better for rust than Mazda's are. Both the Civics and Mx-3's are known for their rear quarter panel rust. Surprised you found one in that well of a condition.

As people and thinking their Mazda's are made by Ford, lol, well put Dan!

Ford Probe -> Mazda Mx-6
Ford Escort -> Mazda 323/Protege (91-03 Mazda Platform, in 97 Ford used their own motors)
Ford Laser/Meteor, Mercury Tracer -> Mazda 323/Protege
Ford Ranger -> Mazda B-Series (83-98)
Ford Escape -> Mazda Tribute (It's actually a modified Mazda 626 chassis running a Ford drivetrain until the Mazda MZR in '04)

Mazda CD3 Platform :
2003–present Mazda 6
2006–present Ford Fusion (CD338)
2006–present Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ (CD378)
2006–2011 Mercury Milan (CD338)
2007–present Mazda CX-9
2007–present Ford Edge crossover SUV (U338)
2007–present Lincoln MKX crossover SUV

But on the other end, there's Fords C1 platform, which is used on the very good and very successfully selling Mazda3 and how awesome the Escorts they have overseas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_C1_platform
The C platform was designed in the Ford development center at Europe Cologne, Germany, as the "C Technologies Program". It was said to be one of the largest platform programs in history at that time. Ford Focus, Volvo S40 and V50, and Mazda3 share about 60 percent of their parts and components. Thirty engineers each from Ford, Mazda, and Volvo worked in Cologne for two years to combine the compact car engineering for all three automakers under the direction of Ford Director of C Technologies Derrick Kuzak, Ford of Europe vice president of product development.

Among all of the cars, the floorpan is different, but the front- and rear-subframes, suspension, steering, braking, safety, and electrical components are shared.

2003 – Ford Focus C-Max (C214), first European vehicle on this platform
2004 – Mazda 3 (BK)
2005 – Ford Focus (International) (C307), (Note: the Ford Focus (North America) continues on the C170 platform through 2010)
2004 – Volvo S40 sedan (P11)
2004 – Volvo V50 station wagon (P12)
2006 – Mazda 5 (and related Ford i-Max)
2006 – Volvo C70 coupe/convertible (P15)
2007 – Volvo C30 (P14)
2008 – Ford Kuga (C394)
2009 – Mazda 3 (Note: the Mazda 3 continues on old C1)[2]
1992 Mazda Mx-3 GSR - 2.5L KLZE : Award Winning Show Car & Race Car ['02-'09] (Retired)
2004 Mazda RX-8 GT - Renesis Wankel : LS3 Coils, BHR Mid-Pipe + Falken RT-615K 245/40r18
2011 Mazda Mazda2 GS - 1.5L Manual : Yozora Edition (1 of 500)
