why not get a v6GS mine only cost me $2500 and that was from a dealership. They are a little harder to find than the rs's but to me they look alot better with the front/back spoilers.

I bought my 92 GS about a year and a half ago with a spotless interior and almost perfect exterior (spoiler faded and front bumper patched incorrectly) and only one ding in the driver's side quarter panel. Mileage was 121,000 and I paid $3700 for it after taxes and everything. Now it's got almost 135,000 on it and still running like a champ. The GS model is definately recommended over the RS.<P>RS: 1.6L I4, 88hp, 14" rims<BR>GS: 1.8L V6 130hp, 15" rims, front lip, rear spoiler<P>There's probably something I'm forgetting but that covers the bases.

Any way u can pull the lights from the camaro? If i rmember correctly dont the tailights on camaros almost look exactly like mx-3's. If so then we could use camaro lights covers and stuff like that. If you can im just asking if you will compare for me? Thanxs

sure i can compare but i think the insurance wants the car to part it out :( i can ask if u want.. theres a pic i have of the car but u cant see reverse lights :( when i get the crash photos i KNOW theres one of the rear end and ill post it up on here<P>one last question. i was talking to my dad about getting an MX3 wiht the insurance money and he had no problem with it but he said there real small its there not that much fun to drive because of there size. he said its not like the camaro where its real long and driver has a lot of room. is that tru? thanks

The MX-3 and Camaro are probably really different cars to drive. I think of a Camaro more as a muscle car, and the MX-3 as a compact sports car. As for being fun to drive, I think the MX-3 is fun to drive, but probably not the same feeling you had in the Camaro. And for driver room, I'm not a really tall guy, I'm only 5'9", but I think a 6' person or so would be comfortable. Don't expect people in the back to be comfortable unless they are smaller then 5'4".<P>Oh ya, and if you get an MX-3, try to get a GS, GS is a V6 with 135HP I beleive. The RS is a 4cyl. and it's only got 88HP for SHOC and 105HP for DHOC. So comming from Camaro, you'll probably find the RS slow....<P>Hope this helps!

Don't expect to be comfortable in the back seat of an MX-3 if you're over 4'11" tall. >_< I'm 5', and I can't fit into the back seat comfortably! MX's might as well be 2 seaters...........<P>Camaro taillights on an MX??? I THINK NOT. I think they'd be WAY too long to fit, and it'd just look really dumb. IMHO, anyways.<P>Raiv.
