My question is: Im considering buying an MX-3, and I just wanted to get you people's opinions of the pros and cons of the MX-3 and why I should buy it.
It all depends what you are looking for.
Personally, I think it is a unique car that is to this day has modern looks. It is faily versatile for it's size as it has a great trunk/hatch space with fip down rear seat. 92-93 model seats are fairly comfy and provide good support during spirited driving. Lumbar sucks though. A fully loaded version came with more than it's competitors. Power everything, sunroof, body coloured mirrors, bumpers, door handles, spoilers. You've got a great handling car with a multilink set-up in the back, that to this day is a modern way to do the rear. Stock rims are decent sized (15" in GS) . 4cyl version is great on gas, 6cyl could be a bit of a pig in out of tune. Car is fun to drive and cheap to maintain, fairly easy to work on and there a more than a few aftermarket options to upgrade things. Front lighting sucks, as expected for an early 90's design. Upholstery on 92-93's could be quite faded and work. Some rattles are annoying. Good luck. Make sure to check the main site here to check year to year and model differences.
