almightybmw- Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression - I do not own an MX-3.
I actually have the '93 Civic hatch that I referred to earlier. I did a lot of homework and bought the Civic because it had the best balance of fuel economy, reliability, and safety over cars like the Metro or the MX-3.
I always wanted an MX-3 though, but passed it up due to its fuel economy. Now years later, I find myself still looking at MX-3s purely on looks alone.

( I suppose it's like looking at a beautiful lady, but knowing you are better off with what you already have. )

Also, with the expense of an engine swap, that's just not going to happen.

This is just a 'what if' sort of thread. I wanted to see if it was possible to get good mileage without anything major like an engine swap.

Actually, there is a guy building an MX-3 EV a few miles from where I am. I tried to make contact, but he never responded.
