The Mazda MX-3 was a compact coupe produced by Mazda from 1991 to 1998. It was based on the same platform as the Ford Probe and Mercury Cougar, a result of a joint venture between Ford and Mazda. The MX-3 was designed to appeal to younger buyers, offering sporty styling, nimble handling, and relatively affordable pricing. Its compact dimensions and dynamic design made it a popular choice for drivers seeking a fun and engaging driving experience. The MX-3 was available with a choice of two engines: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing either 110 or 128 horsepower, and a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine generating 130 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. The MX-3 was known for its responsive handling and precise steering, thanks to its independent suspension system and relatively lightweight construction.

Despite its sporty character, the MX-3 was also reasonably practical. It offered a decent amount of interior space for two passengers and their belongings, along with a moderately sized trunk. Its compact dimensions made it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and its relatively low fuel consumption made it an economical choice for daily driving. The MX-3's popularity waned in the late 1990s, as other sporty coupes with more powerful engines and advanced features emerged in the market. However, it remains a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a fun and affordable driving experience. The MX-3's unique combination of style, handling, and practicality continues to draw attention from classic car enthusiasts and those looking for a reliable and engaging vehicle. The Mazda MX-3 is a reminder of a time when sporty coupes were affordable and accessible, offering a thrilling driving experience without breaking the bank.
