Yup you summed up its appeal. Ive had one 7 years. Love it. Its OK for longer trips too. You really notice how firm a ride and immediate everything is when you drive something else. Just a great all rounder with extra fun and power ie a great hot hatch.

Got the same car here in US. I bought my first car 50 years ago and I have owned many since. This is by far the absolute WORST vehicle I have ever owned. Had 74000 miles on it in 2023 when i bought it. It has been in the shop more than out for electronic problems. New instrument cluster, new ECU'; nothing worked. UNFIXABLE POS!!!. Stay away from Audis

I had a Mazda RX4 back in the 80 so good to hear and drive. I took my RX4 to moto way i put my foot flat down to the floor it reached 200km / hour it was a magic. Honda's VTEC, turbocharger no comparison

Loved hearing that rotary spin up, a very unique sound you never forget. My dad had a 1973 Mazda RX-3, burnt orange, he would take my brother & I and my Mom thru the Hamden CT. Tunnel full throttle and then let off the throttle with a huge backfire that sounded like a 10 gauge shotgun Awesome He had the biggest grin on his face, with my Mom giving him a dirty look, she was so embarrassed. Lots of Fun

A great example of the RX3. One thing, though: it’s hugely unlikely that the five-speed ‘box is standard. They were only ever four-speeds in Australia and, I’d suspect, the rest of the world, too.

Why would you put in the description that it's registered as having a smaller engine than it has, and are you going to get it registered as the engine size it has? Also, silver-on-black number plates are illegal on a 1990 car. Why do some people think it's OK to break the law?

My daughter in her early 30's kept raving about the newer Honda Jazz looks. I traded mine for one after seeing a few. It did turn my head. I like a car that makes me smile when I see or leave it. The Honda Jazz 2019 Ex Navi does this for me. I was 56 at the time of buying. I have driven it and love hearing the engine noise (yes, some don't but I'm not them), and love all the bells and whistles it comes with. I generally feel very safe driving the car and will only ever buy Honda cars, yes have driven Ford, Rover and Vauxhalls in the past. It's a case of, to each his own, I own my Honda Jazz and very happy with it.

I think you have to do some more studying about the differences between the RX3 and the normal 818 having a piston engine. My uncle owns both : a 4-door saloon RX3 and a 2 door coupe 818

In the UK it doesn't get so much attention because the target group in average countries are middle class moms who wanna take their children to school and then get to their workplaces for a relatively budget price. The car has low consumption and very cheap maintanence costs due to the simplicity of the petrol engine. In the UK the middle class moms just opt in for their unreasonably huge and expensive SUVs and call it a day.😊

Recently got a red mini cooper s sport with jcw kit and it's great it's all I need fast, does the job everything else. The guy in garage recommended not to get the jcw because the insurance was so much more for the sake of more power. Great car. Only downside wished it sounded a bit better but other than that love it
