Little tip if you want to drive it at night: install an HID kit if the low beams use H1 bulbs, you will see so much better at night, its literally a night and day difference. I did it to mine, before i was scared to drive at night, now i find it fun. They didn't even seem to blind others, after installing the kit i've gotten flashed only once, and that time i actually forgot my high beams on.
This was a lunched test model built off of the MX3 proposed 4-door with a Ford influence. Ford was interested in this car for the Australian, UK and Euro market with the Ford Badge but stalled out.... turned out that JDM sales kept it going....but in evolved into a different car. Cool car bro! Nice vid!
This car in Australia is known as a 323 Astina. Ford asisa sold versions of it as Lazer. Both Mazda and Ford versions accepted well and sold in good numbers. JMD also had a V6 2 ltr version.
this car reminds me so much of the Honda Ascot 92/93 European Market version that I owned. I found a lantis in a junk yard in a fair state for a cheap price. But I have to control my urges and curiosity. I'll wait a bit. First got to fix some small problems on my mazda axela
nice! I have a lantis type R, fantastic little cars. wouldn't swap it for anything to be honest. Mine is also a 5 speed, being the type r it has a factory lsd aswell. it also has a sunroof.
I've owned a 94 model and I believe this car has had a serious front collision. The steering wheel doesn't look stock and even the bare bone 94 models back in the day had two front airbags, one in the wheel for the driver and one for the front passenger, where that top glove box exists. And this one even has electric back windows, a rarity.
all japanese spec cars had electric windows all around, also not all 94s had airbags, my type r doesn't have any factory airbags. it all depends on where the car was sold new
I have one of these, but with the 1.5L engine. Works mostly fine mechanically, but its getting rusty and can't really afford to fix it :/ I guess that's what 274k km does to a car.
I like these, when i saw it for the first time, i didn't know what it was, but now i know that i saw something very cool

Thanks for commenting with some good information!
This car's engine is a 1.8l BP, not a 1.6l B6. In some markets the Lantis also came with a 1.6 but this one is a 1.8 :)

I've never seen one of these before! If I wasn't in love with my Honda beat I'd be in this in a heartbeat
Very smart looking car. Looks futuristic, even today...

The bump on the roof keeps the window dry while driving in the rain ... had it as a first car 15yrs ago
Known as Mazda Lantis in Malaysia market
I love my BA
My 94 MX-6 does have a cup-holder :)
That engine looks familiar enough - from the Protege? Would this be familiar enough to get it serviced at a US Mazda dealer?
Absolutely.
the lantis ( sedan and coupe ) are the same as a BH protoge/ 323/ familia underneath, so makes it easier to get parts

No, the mileage does not make a car rust.
@@thequietkiwi High mileage cars are more likely to have rust though, unless well-kept.
hey my cars famous
Hermoso tengo uno
