MX-3 - princess of power
Silver fox, 02/22/2009
1995 Mazda MX-3 2dr Hatchback
I've been driving my 1995 MX-3 V-6 for 6 years now and I'd rank it with any coupe of any make, price range or year! Peppy, great looking, reliable, like any car of the Mazda line. Give it regular mechanical maintenance and a little body TLC and it will love you back. A Porsche tried to race it on the highway the other day--and lost.

1994 Mazda MX-3 GS 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car 5 years ago and it had over 140,000 miles on it.
I have never had a serious problem with it.
it's so much fun to drive.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
Great value, very reliable and great design.

Gas Milage Joy Ride
Jerald, 07/10/2003
1994 Mazda MX-3 2dr Hatchback
I have had my Mx-3 for a year now and I
have had nothing but fun with it. The
only real work done to it was the usual
water pump and timing belt
replacement. The car is economical and
sporty at the same time. I love the
gas milage compared to the typical gas
hogs. I would suggest this car to
anyone, especially those looking for a
car you don't see everyday.

A really reliable car

1995 Mazda MX-3 2dr Hatchback
I've had my MX3 since 95. Bought it
new and it has been a great car. Other
than normal stuff like brake pads, tires
and oil changes the ONLY major fix was
a new set of spark plug wires, which
took the {bleeping} mechanic several
attempts to trouble shoot so it cost
more to fix than it should have.
It has decent performance, but it's
real strengths are handling, and
the … interior space/comfort. I have
carried an entire Futon home in that
car, and was able to close the back
hatch!
This car has been VERY reliable, like
most pre-Ford Mazdas. (don't buy a
Tribute, or a Ford Focus!)
The interior is constructed from very
high quality materials.

Should I lease or buy a 1995 Mazda MX-3?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
