1987 Mazda 323 review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant, cheap motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
Well, I only owned this car for 8 months, but I have had one before so I feel I'm qualified in the running of a 323 1.6i. The performance dosen't exactly dazzle, but it is exciting off the mark and will easily cruise at speed with a full load.
Nice and comfy, some nice touches like interior lights that dim before going out (that's really cool), individual map lights for front passengers, tool kit in the boot, and loads more.
This car, and the one I had before, never ever let me down, ever. It was 100% reliable and I would have another tomorrow.
A great drivers car, comfortable and sturdy (for a small Japanese car).
