If you get one, get a standard GS, the RS has as much power as a geo or a firefly, and I've heard lots of problems with the automatic trannys in these cars. I looked at buying one for the longest time, but they are way overpriced for a decent quality one that isn't falling apart. The cheapest one I found that had no problems was $7000 for a 1992, which I think was too much. There are better cars in the price range, so I bought a civic instead. Glad I did.
Nope. The cars suck. Just ask Brandon. He'll tell you whats what.

I found the same thing, I found a good one, 93 with 100,000km, no damage. for about $10,000. Thats way too much. I got a 2000 Civic for about the same price.

Thats what I was planning when I was looking for one. Getting a JDM KLZE. :)

There light as hell man. I know someone with the 4 banger model that put theirs on the scale and it was really light, can't remember the exact weight though.

anyway, i have a bud that owns an mx3, we drove it onto the scale by my parents house on hwy2, it spit out a # in kg that we worked out to equal 2900lbs!! if u subtract the weight of the 2 passengers, then teh car still weighs 2600lbs!
EDIT: did a search...2600lbs for v6 model and 2400lbs for i4....fock...imagine 90hp trying to pull 2400lbs!!
