MX-3.com

As far as the name of the car goes, we don't call them mx-3 over in Japan. I went back to Japan a couple of years ago, and saw Eunos presson and AZ-3. I live in Hiroshima and it's a mazda town (mazda has their headquarter in hiroshima). I belive there are more mazdas there than any other places, and most people (including me) like mazda.<p>My family drives just mazda (only my dad could drive cars), and my impression about Eunos and autozam are, usually, Eunos sells expensive side of the cars like 929 (we call them Sentia in Japan). It seems like autozam sells the less expensive ones like Demio, etc.. If you like, I can go to their web site (likely written in Japanese), and see or ask them the difference.<p>bungo

I noticed no-one in Australia had posted a reply so I thought I would clear it up down under..
All models are called Eunos 30-x here.. They came standard with Elect Sunroof/ABS/Air cond full elect windows and mirrors/ CD. The only option I have seen is leather interior.
They were also rarely sold from Mazda- There were factory Eunos Depots opened to sell Eunos- your typicall mazda dealer here does not have the diagnostic computers to completely service your mazda.. eg when my ABS light came on they could not connect to find out why.. hence globe was removed. There are still some designated eunos dealers.

they didn't all come standard with ABS.. thank god!!<p> :p

well first off they sound like great names to us but mx-3 might sound great to them i dunno i like it it sounds so sporty but yeh if u want ur car to say precidia buy one they're the specail edition 93s they are sold often on the sell/trade forum check it out<p>

okay i have an az3 there is also an az3 here with the eunos presso stickers i dont know if this is original my car mt and the other at dont know if this makes a difference both cars came from japan

The Presso and AZ-3 were intended for the japanese market but were exported on a large scale to New Zealand. Some have found there way to Great Britain and Ireland, The Middle East, Russia and the Carribean.
The Autozam AZ-3 began production in 1991 with the 1.5 16 valve DOHC engine. In 1993 the was 1.8 V6 24 valve DOHC also used in the Autozam AZ-3 with both models being produced at same time.
The Eunos Presso was available in 1993 with the and the 1.8 V6 24 valve DOHC and the 1.5 16 valve DOHC engine.
In both the Presso and the AZ-3 the 1.6 litre versions were never produced.

is it true that UK mx3's dont have power seatbelts? my english friends came over a few weeks ago and said they'd never seen it before!

Very true, I've never seen power seatbelts before, My right arm is bigger than my left from reaching back...

As far as I can figure, the MX-3 is the left hand drive variant, and the Eunos/AZ3 are the right hand drive variants. Seems logical, as we never really hear of both MX-3s and Presso/AZ-3s driving around in the same countries.

Not true I'm afraid. I have a genuine UK spec 1992 MX-3 V6, and it's RHD. The UK spec MX-3s all got the front lip spoiler, side skirts and rear spoiler (Even the 1.6s). Also the all got ABS as standard.

Also, note the different shape licence plate apperture in the bumper. That's how you can spot a UK car. All the imports in the UK have the square apperture like the US models.

I know some European MX-3's had auto leveling h4 headlights as well.

PRESSO had red rear lights and additional blinkers:

Actually I'm looking for a AZ-3 Emblem to Replace my MX-3 Emblem, I already changed my "Eternal Flame" Badge with an Enfini Badge. And for the Record I'm American... yes yes laugh i know... I dont like it either

i may be wrong, but i believe the AZ3 just has a sticker...., besides, AZ3's were called Autozam AZ3 not Efini, and only came with the 4cyl, what you really want is Eunos badging!
Eunos was Mazdas attempt at building an upmarket brand (like Lexus)....., like most of the things Mazda did at the time, it was half-assed and doomed to failure!

Sticker only! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, oh well, oh yes an i know that there was no Enfini MX-3, but there is now isn't there, heh heh, I wanted the effect that when people looked at my car, they would wonder what it was... just a little extra, plus it helps that i always wanted an RX-7...

True, the AZ-3 is a sticker....I have one and was going to put it on. I may use it in another location for the car.
