The 1.8 V6 isn't very powerful but it has a very smooth and steady climb in the RPM's all the way to its 7000rpm redline. When it comes to windy roads, this car is very fast!! The engines small displacement and smooth feel all the way to the redline gives the driver the confidence that the engine can surely take a beating. Mine has 289,000km of hitting the redline every day and no problems. I change the oil evry 5 months or 5000kms though using the reccomended 10w30. The only Mazda MX-3 V6 I would avoid is an automatic one. The auto could not handle the power of the V6 and usually doesnt last. The 5 speed lasts forever provided u change the gear oil every 2 years (only costs 45$)

I purchased this car used in 1999 with 104,000 km and it was the 4 cyl. At that time I didn't have a lot of money for a car as I had just taken out a mortgage and needed a car. I am not sorry for this purchase, as the car has lasted me until now September 2010 and is now showing it's age and I am replacing it. I've pretty much driven it into the ground and other than maintenance, had not put money into any repairs...it's been very dependable.

I have all power options, the pw broke on me, i also had to change the tranny, the engine is still strong, I can't seem to beat other v6 cars off the line but then when around 40 KM you feel that you are flying and it doesn't stop accelerating, it's an OKAY car. If you are looking for a nice 2 door V6, get a accord or solara, it's the same on gas, actually probably better.
Good Car

I bought this car right out of high school. It has been great for me. It handles great and zoops around, very fun to drive. I've loved this car, I've driven almost into the ground several times with no oil for a week. I have had problems with the battery though. And I love the hatchback!
Fun and very reliable car!

My wife got this car about 5 years ago when she was still in college and it has been rock solid the whole time. Being 6'2" tall, it's a little small for my taste, but it's perfect for her. It rides pretty rough, exactly what you want from a small car that really grips the road. Gas mileage is decent (upper 20's), but leaves a little bit to be desired for a car this size. I guess something has to give if you want it to perform the way this little Mazda does. It has good acceleration and even passing power on the highway thanks to the high revving V6. All around a very dependable fun to drive little car.
