    Not going to buy one are you?

    They had several major recalls on the earlier models, such as rear axles coming off and the like.

    On my Zx3 the door sticker said engine/tranny were built in Germany, and the final assembly took place in Mexico.

    On mine the pressure plate broke in half at about 20,000mi and a connecting rod came apart at 30,000mi. It was one of the biggest I ever owned. I ended up getting it repaired under waranty and a week after I got it back I traded if for the classic red 94 miata I had.
