Pre 94' or late model???
I know a lot of the members have or do own both early and latemodel MX3's. I wonder what your preference is and why.
I have owned 2 late model, bubble dash, cars and am considering picking up an SE. I wonder what people think are the ups and downs of the different interiors.

94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard

I own one of each.. 94 RS and a 92 GS and I soooo much prefer my GS heater controls. The push buttons are annoying and dont stick half the time. The sliders work efficiently.
From the aesthetic perspective.. eh.. I think both look good.. the 94 does look a bit more modern. Lots of people like to put gauges where the heater vents are. I think I would find that difficult to read my gauges. I like having my gauges in one spot where I can check them all in rapid succession so that my eyes arent off the road for very long. Seems like with people putting them in the heater vent holes.. I would be hunting for information when I should be paying attention to the road. Just my opinion.. they do look cool there and mount there nicely.
Now from what I understand.. if you live in canuckland there are 94 cars that come with the bubble dash AND slider heater controls.. none of that ghey push button stuff like we have down here. Best of both worlds there some would say..
Anyway.. I like the older style better. Just cleaner looking. Cheers

definitely 94+ for me. I wanted to get a GS and it had to have the 94 interior, so I let alot of good deals go by until I found the one I really wanted. Something I wanted. My 94 GS precidia has the push button hvac style on it and I've never had a problem.

Ditto. Looking for a GS. Passing by the pre '94's, even though there's some really good ones. Love the bubble dash, don't like the Candian slider controls, also want airbags.lowflyinmx3 wrote:definitely 94+ for me.

My old 95RS had the slider controls and it was fine. My 94GS has push buttons and they're fine too so far. I'm looking at a 93GS SE which is why I ask.
However now the deal is on the rocks as the seller cannot seem to come to an agreement with the dealer of his new ride. We'll see.

I like the bubble style dash better... I had one in my 94 gs... I love the curves - it just makes the interior looks so much more sophisticated!
I only like the 92-93 dash because I have euro vents now![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
