Dude what an envy of an experience i would have loved to drive that dorito of hell too <3

Sounds great, very cool car indeed 👍

Great review... You have convinced me to buy one 😂

I just bought one. Looking forward to years of adventures!

I got my Audi A3 last year with 87k miles it cost 6k, I wouldn’t swap it just yet. I like it to much. The Auto 2.0tfsi sline Quattro with the gen 1 EA888 engine. Sounds mental in sport

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

Once you drive got hooked love the Mazda Rotory❤ engine and the music from the muffler sounds so good to hear, no need for a stereo system. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love your Mazda Rotory RX3

Great vid, make some more!

Just bought this car for £11,000 in March 2024. In great condition and only 25,000 miles. Over the moon.

I believe the car rev matches for you when you are changing up through the gearbox hence the smooth changes :)

I had a 74 rx4 loved that car. More power than most all on the road

Your mini is spot on - you have great taste. I can't stand all the bells and whistles - yours is nice and clean. Great job.

I would have been good if you showed us the engine and the full interior 😢

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

Thanks for this video. The car looks great. Any recommendations to buy a car similar to this?

142 mph

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.

Trying so hard to get excited for this purchase 😂 “a van is a van”

You’re very entertaining and would do well on a bigger platform .

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?

Nicely reviewed

The mk7 st is a very good car,the mk8 st (with the performance pack) is simply superb

Just take the key 🤷‍♂️

I've had 1 mk 3 1 mk 4 and 2 mk 5s and at present drive a mk 4 everywhere, absolutely love them , getting less on the road these days but much better than a lot of up to date cars of which I detest

Nice review-- Believe the key warning can be switched-off (at least in the 2024 year models)

Loved the mk7 st but the mk8 is so much better with the performance pack

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.

Underrated channel... as someone said, this was the good old Top Gear level of quality.

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

I was astonish when he said 6-speed manual, that's really good

People modify these and raise them all the time. So if performance is an issue connect with the jazz community, Sunday I'll show you how to make them faster.

ford is for brokies

A very professional and entertaining review - well done 👍

I wouldn’t mind an ST but I need a big boot to put my subwoofer in

That's a 10A model with a replaced engine, probably a single dizzy Rx7 12A, i have a 10A coupe with a Rx4 12A in it, best looking car ever.

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.😊

Filmed at Beachy Head near Eastbourne - my home town - would have been great for you to try out the rear seats ;)

Goooatta!!! Thank you[[[]]]]]][[ 3 cyl or 4 cyl is more durable ??? Please

Was this car also offered in the USA?

great review thank you

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

This car! OMG!!! I love it! Fasts Fords are really nice to drive. I still have my ST and Polo GTI

Brilliant cars. Had mine over 5 years now and it still doesn’t half put a smile on my face when you take it down some back roads.

Love the look of yours! I'd love to buy one but all the minis I've checked out aren't ULEZ exempt

Is this your van? If so has it held up well? Cheers!

I've now go the Puma ST and had a mk8 Fiesta ST previously. I don't feel I've lost anything in terms of handling and even if it is slower than the Fiesta, it doesn't feel it. I've only gained practicality..Bravo Ford Performance 💪

FORD FOCUS ST OVER A SKODA OCTAVIA VRS?? 😂😂

I had a 77 RX3SP, what a fun car that was. Sold it for $500 back in 84. If you can find one they go for big bucks now.

Great looking motah

Rx8 was the last one
