The 1994 Mazda MX-3: before you buy
No 1994 Mazda MX-3 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 1994 Mazda MX-3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the MX-3
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 19 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, air bags and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
Power: the 1.6L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 8.4 L/100 km works out to about 25 litres per 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $39.06 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Practical details
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the MX-3 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the MX-3 tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 1994 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Make a request
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
