I was in a parking lot tweaking the car pc, was talking to some business guy and he asked is it had the rotary in it....millionflame wrote:My new MX-3 is in such good shape that I routinely get stopped and asked if it's that "fancy new Mazda sports car with the rotary in it."

Chick car all the way. When I first started driving it all my lady friends wanted to ride in it. After I got my Subwoofer in (12" Kicker L7) they rode in it more than I just started to kinda blow em off. Didn't want to get invovled cause Girls are expensive and there is only one Lady in my life, My MX-3, Shelah. Some says its a whores name, others say its a whores name, I say oh well it looks like a shoe and civics make me giggle.
But seriously, my friends make fun of me cause either at th drivethru at the bank, at gas stations, at the mall, or just around town I will get the comment prolly 3-6 times a month "Thats a cute car"

Yeah, the Mx-3 is a chick car. The phrase "that's a cute car" are always said from chicks consistantly. The Miata is totally a guy car, cause I know and see almost all of em are driven by guys. You would think it's a chick car, cause of the room, but that's not the case.

Yeah serious, I had a black auto rs and I was always getting compliments from women about my car, like one time I stopped to ask two chicks for directions to an apartment complex, and as I started to drive away, the cuter one was like, "Nice car." with a smile. Or maybe it was a dream..
my poor car..

Maybe she was being sarcastic. You know, like she was really thinking, "Why is that dude driving such a chick car?!"
Haha, kidding. As I said before, I don't really consider it to be a chick car since I see mostly guys driving it around where I live. It becomes a chick car when some lady gets ahold of it and puts Tweety Bird stickers all over it, or something.

I really think that the MX3 does look like a chick car, but I don't think it performs like one. I have a stock GS (for now) and it is a peppy little car. Nothing fast, of course, but it's got some spunk.
I think it looks like a chick car because of the smooth, rounded lines of the car. It's not very aggresive looking, so it's 'less manly'. The ultimate chick car is a Sunfire. I have to laugh when guys are driving them (however, this last sunfire body style hasn't as bad as the earlier ones).

The name mx3 doesnt sound girly, however precidia definately does lol. I do however get lots of compliments from girls and they always seem to want to come for a ride in it. People can laugh and trash talk my car sayin its a chick car, but when all the chicks are coming over to the car I'm the one getting the last laugh. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Friendship is like pissing your pants: Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its true warmth.

Yeah, before I bought my car I always thought that MX3's were a girl's ride. But now that I have one, I doubt that most girls that own them know how wonderfully they handle or how fun it is to squeal the tires. I think it also has to do with seeing a lot of girls here in the Peg 'girly' up their car with like Winnie the Poo steering wheel covers and stuff. I vowed to myself NEVER to do that to my car. If you do your car up right and drive it hard, how could it be girly? I love my MX3 ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
