hey yall ..............
just joined the forum and have been reading a load of old posts , and this site is great .
as a long time member of the nissan owners club , and forums etc , and the mazda 323f forums ,i now find myself here
in the past ive owned 7 mazdas (mostly the early 323f) , and recently sold my Nissan 300zx (3L V6 Twin Turbo)
and im in the process of selling my Nissan 100NX (1.6i twin cam 16v) ! .
ive decided to go for an mx-3 and i have a few questions :
having owned 7 323fs in the past they all had a few very common probs
drivers door handles went on all 7 , cv joints always go , drivers side electric windows . etc etc ..........
my questions about the mx3 are :
should i go for the 1.6 or the 2l v6 ?( ive heard fuel ecconomy is bad , although prob nothing compared to 35 miles to a £10 of petrol in the nissan 3l v6 !
what year is better ? ( i was thinking 96 / 97 ?
ive saw a few special editions with leather interior , they look good
i think silver or black if i can get it .
what should i look out for when buying / test driving ?
what common probs do they have ?
and any other comments / suggestions would be great !
thanks a lot
