Mazda MX3
The automotive world is not exempted from dark ages in certain periods of its history. For some brands, millions of recalls can be considered a tragedy while for some makes like the sports coupe, the late 1980s through the 1990s can be considered as its gloomy years. This dark period for the coupes though was a time to shine for the Mazda MX-3.
The MX-3 caught the attention of the market when everyone was looking away from the sports coupe then. The Mazda MX-3 said hello to the autophiles back in 1992 and had a production run until 1998. The Mazda MX-3 derived its DNA from the Mazda Familia EC Platform.
What made the MX-3 a hit was its veering away from the old style, boxy design of the 80s. It strut smooth lines that exuded some modern touch and sporty driving attitude.
For the MX-3, what you see is what you get. The car manufacturer gave buyers two options for the engine. There was the I4 that had a 1.6L powerplant and a V6 1.8L. It was also a sport coupe that Mazda marketed around the globe, thus the different identities. Canadians called it the MX-3 Precidia while the Australians tagged it as the Eunos30X. The Japanese had several labels like the AZ 3, Autozam AZ 3, and Eunos Presso.
The MX-3 also made some Hollywood appearanceslike in I Robot, The Italian Job, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Sweet November, 15 Minutes, Analyze That, ALIAS, and Someone Like You among others.
