#1 - Sexy
#2 - Great handling
#3 - Awesome engine potential
#4 - Comfortable
#5 - That all leads to fast agile comfotable sexy car.

Whats not to like? I guess some of the odd problems, and some sucky stock parts. Lack of parts, too I guess.

Hmmm.... I LOVE how the automatics are crap. :roll: No, but seriously, along with the stuff above, I really like how the back seat folds down. It makes for a good fuel efficiant moving vehicle.

Oh, now that you mention that, I also love that you could easily sleep in the back of your 2400lb coupe :)

It would be absolutely mint for drive-ins as well, if there were many left :(

One day I just want to pile blankets back there and go camping :D

Edit

And the tow hooks in all four corners!! This thing is BUILT for winter! (and drifting, reverse 180's, 360's...) Woo!

I plan to use my car as my bed when I make my road trip, but at the rate things keep going, I doubt it will be this summer, it might have to wait till next year. OOooo I also like the bubble dash on the '94+. I can just sit there and spin those for hours, lol. Simple things keep me entertained, lol.

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.

I think it's the styling of the back hatch. And the fact that there are only limited Mx-3's that are modded. Totally unique here.

1)I like the fact that older women asked me if it's a Porsche.

2)My kids' friends wish I would sell it to them because they say it looks awesome.

3)Most people have no idea what it is.

4)With all the curves and styling inside and out, our MXs', (in good paint and running condition) can easily pass for a 2008 model car.

5)The car handles like it's on rails.

6) The list goes on and on and on............

I got mine because I was looking for a sporty hatchback that got good mileage, and that I could sleep in, if needed. I of course, looked at CRXs, but was disappointed. I saw the MX-3, and thought I'd maybe seen one before, but didn't know anything about it. My last cars were a 323 beach car, and an RX-7, and had other Mazdas before, so I knew it would be a good car. It was out of my price range, so I talked the dealer down to 1/2 of what they wanted. I then got a Mercedes, just like one I had and LOVED before, but am selling it, because I love my MX-3s more.
I agree with everyone before.
I've had three girls separately describe it as "sexy".

My favorite part of the car would have to be the doors. I love their length, and the fact that they don't have quarter back windows like other coupes.
