Thoughts on Mazda MX3?
Looks lame, but is small and quite cheap, especially comparing with Miata.
Should be fun driving, they're quite powerful for their weight.
Best first drift missile imo
Quite hard to control the winter, but hell, it's the fate of every rwd

The MX-3 is FWD.
>>14730049
It's a FWD you mouth breather.
>inb4 lol I troll you

It's a fine car, especially considering the price. My friend had one, i had a chance to put a few miles on it. Handles decently, but don't expect the excellence of a miata, it's much closer to something like civic which is still alright.
As for the other things, expect typical stuff that comes with jap cars aka good reliability, relatively cheap parts and a tendency to rust a bit.

I fucking love when people who don't know anything about the asked car try to sprout their opinions anyway.
>>14729996
Is good car.
Wish I had bought on when I had the chance.

>Tiny V6
>Looks like a retarded NB
>Part of the retarded early 2000s market segment of tiny, econobox based coupes like the Ford Puma and Opel Tigra
I fucking love it, I miss stupidly small coupes.
>tfw no Ford Ka based coupe
>tfw no Opel Corsa based coupe
Seriously, make a lightweight coupe on the Ka platform with a 1L Ecoboost and I'd pay 12 grand for it

The Puma was a Fiesta with a bodykit, right?
Oh, and the Tigra is hands down the single most riced car where I live.

>The Puma was a Fiesta with a bodykit, right?
Not quite, different rear suspension and it's like 6 inches wider. If I find a 1.7 for cheap I'll buy one in a heartbeat. Tigras are awful, awful cars but I still kinda want one.
>>14730326
There's fucktons of cheap 1.7s over here.
>>14729996
I dd one, swapped in a klze and kept the 5 speed from the 1.8. 160 something whp on regular.
>>14730338
None in Scotland, at least not ones I would actually want to live with. They're all rusted to shit and/or riced
>Literally one within 100 miles of my house
>£600, MOT till september, leather interior
>I bought a new car literally 6 weeks ago
MUST RESIST URGE

The Puma is a well tuned Fiesta, handles breddy gud.
Tigra on the other hand is literally a Corsa with a bodykit.
>>14730396
>Puma has many interchangeable parts with the Fiesta, including all forward panels, wheels, engine parts and interior parts
>Tigra shares no panels, no interior parts and has a different intake manifold and exhaust from the Corsa
It's like GM set out to make a Puma that was worse in every single way

>all forward panels
I googled and I found this.
I mean, fuck. Someone actually did this.
>>14730439
Looks pretty good to me, that gen fiesta is fucking ugly
>>14730441
The bulbous panels look so out of place though.
>>14729996
They look really cool
I would buy one if they were RWD
>>14729996
I used to fuck around with one when i was 19, bough it for like $300 from the scrappers, fixed the engine(head was cracked), welded the diff, put a straightpipe on it, cheap ass springs and dampers, put some old bmw 15x7 wheels and stripped the interior.
The thing hauled ass for solid 6 months then threw a rod and i sold it for parts, made around 2k
I think these are adorable.
