not to start anything, but i wouldnt be impressed with nice looking car that's slow. when you impress muscle car guys, then your car is worthy something, like mine, its clean, no stickers and big giant woofers, just speed and some looks and i get compliments from muscle car guys all the time.

I think that show cars are nice and all, but, a more stock looking mx-3 with no "rice" accessories that is fast will get WAY more respect from me. Cars with just a bunch of showy stuff on them is just an overrated teenage fad IMO whether you're a teenager or not. :roll:

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, certainly young kids that go on this website want to make their cars look a little better with the limited income they have.

Whether you like it or not, this website and everyone with Mx advertises someone elses products, ether it's bodkit, lights, neon, engines, rotors, whatever.

I doubt everyone waited 2-3 years to save their pennies and then dish out $4 - 8K to buy a ZE/BPT painted with a matching interior and a full bodykit painted in metallic colour of your choice on top of 17" rims.

Having a ricey car with no Go for too long is alright, there will come a point when you get beat by a minivan. Then you'll want more balls.

On the other hand noone cares if an ugly car goes fast either.

my 1 cent.

LOL in my old car, a Geo Storm, i had a huge muffler on it and some neons.. i new i was a loser but it was still fun..... until some girls in a crappy minivan smoked me. O_O this was when i knew it wasnt cool.

but imo, a stock bodied lowered MX3 GS with rims = very sweet car that impresses tha ladiez and also can beat many hondas by itself! on the other hand, body kits can be done so much its overkill and people will ignore you after a while unless you're fast. and then they still might not care. lol but if you do it right, you'll get respect. :cool:

No offense but there is nothing special about this mx-3.

In fact it looks just as bad as some patched up old Honda's i see driving around with mismatching bumpers and such. The stickers don't help either.

Or....sell it, buy a civic HB, do a motor swap and run in the 13's.
