How can I tell if my car is a 25th annaversary car? It is a 93 with heated leather seats, v6 5speed, no air, sunroof, factory Enkie rims, but no badging! Is there anything else that I can look for that would let me know? I am just curious as I got the car given to me as it only needs a clutch and a tune up!

What color is it? does it have a leather wraped wheel and shift knob? Is there swithes below the ebrake for the heated seats?

I thought almost all SE's came with air condish.

So did I, until I drove a laguna blue SE in Vancouver (that I almost bought) that had no air con, the guy who owned it ordered it w/o... Kinda stupid cause I have never ever had air con and I want it lol.

The only thing I can say is that it's gotta be an SE...unless he swapped in SE leathers and put in aftermarket heaters, cause I know for a fact that you can't just plug-in SE heated seats into a non-SE Mx-3...unless there's something that's done at the dealership, but that I'm not aware of, looks part of the vehicle harness, not an easy change.

Hehe, almost sounds like the original owner cheaped out and intended it to be a winter car, cause it's got no summer goodies but it's got the heated seats. Normally there's badging on it, unless because it's not a true SE, they didn't put them on from the factory...that's one odd-ball Mx-3, that's forsure.

Here's some info on the SE for you:

Yes the car has a Leather wrapped steering wheel, Although it is in poor poor shape... It also does have the switches for the seat heaters behind the shifter in the center console, As for the shifter knob...I dunno if it was ever leather as it isnt there... The poor car is red and was beat on by its last owner, Heh for a whole 24 days before the clutch when on him anyways! There is garbage all over the inside of it and it looks like its gone through world war 3. Im hoping to fix it up a bunch and then planning on selling it as my family is growing and it only has 4 seatbelts! I have a bunch of toys allready, An 87 Mustang thats for brackets, 12.09 @ 114mph. A 93 Civic dx coupe, and a 93 Ford supercab Flareside F150 thats got 9" of lift and 35s. I wish I could keep the MX3 though as it looks like a really fun car to drive!

Open the passenger side door and just inside the jam there should be a sticker, that tells you some details about the car. Heres what mine looks like..............

Hope this helps you!

oh and also its believed that all SE's had AC, but then again solo_ryder found one that didn't, an yours doesn't either. But i am sure that all of them had ABS. does yours???

I've always wondered myself what Hard S Suspension is.

anyone here with an RS here, is ours say that or not.

You know, I can't find the info, the different countries and different years have different stiffnesses of stock suspension believe it or not
