- Mazda MX3,
accompanied with 121, MX-5 and Eunos 500, represents the golden age of Mazda
in the late 80s and early 90s. In then, nearly every new Mazda made our
eyes fresh with innovative styling, and the mechanics to match with. For
example, the MX-3 still looks pretty fashionable today. Its small block
1.8 litre V6 provides the smoothness that other 16 valve 4 cylinder rivals
lack. Although it is not fast enough, fun is guaranteened. The only
real problem is that MX-5 has more fun.
