^^ Anyone know what those 1.6 litre Mazda MX3's are like on juice? I know somebody mentioned a few pages back that the 1.5 litre Mazda 323 F from the same era are heavy enough on it.

I'd have to agree, the white on them just doesn't seem to work in my opinion

Plus the peace of mind that its a dealer ad..

A dealer based in a Portacabin wouldn't exactly give me great peace of mind

The mx3 1.6? They weigh about as much as a starlet, are they really that thirsty? :-(

I went to look at a car there years ago, guy tried to tell me it belonged to his mechanic and that's why there was no warranty. Car was scrap anyway so I walked.

Starlets are actually quiet heavy on fuel as well. A corolla e11 which is a heavier car is lighter on fuel than them so I wouldnt go by weight.

Quantify please, for my own interest!

An e11 corolla has a diffrent fuel injection system to a starlet of the same era. So even though the starlet is lighter and has the same 4e-fe engine, it's still not as effecient as the corolla for the above reason.

Hackballs cross :eek:

There's actually an estate in Nobber called Muff! lol, only in Ireland!

My confusion is the same as langdang's here. How can a tiny light MX-3 with a tiny engine be heavy on fuel? From my own experience of 90s cars:

Micra 1.0 - very heavy commute into Dublin city centre from the outskirts + open driving mainly at the weekend - average 40MPG

Primera 1.6 - very heavy commute into Dublin city centre from the outskirts + open driving mainly at the weekend - average 30MPG

Surely the MX-3 would be somewhere in between these? Edit - just looked it up and the MX-3 is a lot heavier than I thought. Much closer to the Primera than to the Micra...

I have a weak spot for those Seicentos. €675 asking, belt done and NCT until '14 would make someone a lovely cheap runabout

Crappy images but has some NCT, taxed until end of March, says there's a full FSH and mileage isn't crazy.


Would these be reasonably bullet proof? Anything to look out for?

Barry Barry

Bit overpriced for something with only 2 months test tbh.

Ah perhaps it could be got for a grand or less?

sister gave me a loan of her starlet for a month, there a good few years ago, t'was surprisingly thirsty but at the time it was 98 cent a litre so, t'wasnt too bad at all on the pocket.
