Road Test/Test Drive

Post by Ryan »

Was there ever a road test/test drive done, like by Car and Driver, or Road and Track?
for the MX-3, of course.... Search yeilded nothing, nor did Google, but maybe one of you who was alive when it was still a showroom car might know...

I think it was consumer reports.. I'll look it up. They said the Geo Prizm sport was better. I don't trust tests like them, though, because they are mostly opinion about stuff I don't care about, like interior aesthetics, and sound, etc.., and they give bad grades for anything less than $60,000. The MX-3 outperformed all the cars tested, most by a huge margin.

fowljesse, you are smarter than I, I neglected to use the word comparison.
They are all for the v6, but I guess it has what I wanted. Thanks :) Sorry for the redundant thread
