What I think is.. MX should be the lowest class of as u say "sport coupé" so they did what they did.. put a weak engine use what they have.. BUT BESIDE THIS THEY ALSO USE A DESIGN WHICH PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO ADORE 10 YEARS LATER what I think is great. Prove is the movies "I robot" they use the design next to Audi TT and other modern cars or the FAST AND FURIOUS... WHAT U CAN CHANGE IS ENGINE OR OTHER THINGS BUT WHAT U CAN CHANGE IS THE DESIGN THE EXTERIOR..Gro Harlem wrote:Major problems with the MX3 at the time of its introduction (when comparing it to competitors NX2000, NX1600, CRX, SC2, Eclipse/Talon/Laser)
5: The pathetic 1.6 SOHC in the RS is the stupidest engine choice mazda could've made for their "sports coupe". A 1.8 BP or using the 1.6 DOHC miata B6ZE woudl've made hella more sense. Using the KF-DE in the GS would've kept the MX3 placed under the MX6 but would've at least gave it some balls. The K8 wasn't even necessary in the K-series engine family
The tinny doors piss me off somtimes & getting into the car is awkward being 6'4"...its SO low to the ground. The door and window seals always seem to get unseated on all mx3's i've seen which can look crappy & sometimes cause leaks. The headlights being plastic = sucky.
car.
and maybe this is why we love our slow MX..
By the way in Europe we have glass headlights.. no cheap plastic.. and the new look of interior design is great.. I had NX1600 before, and the look is never like MX..
