1986 Mazda 323 GT hatchback review from North America
"Very quick for that amount of Kms, doesn't lack in any other aspect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right now it's winter here, around minus 30 degrees outside. Now the oil sensor is stuck where it would normaly sit when the oil is at the bottom of the crank case.
Well that results in the engine sensing that there is no oil in it at all, which in turn will tell the motherboard that there is no oil and then it shuts off the motor right away.. this is the only major problem. Besides the regular maintenance.
General comments?
Shocks and struts will go on the GT edition with the electric sport suspension, usually around the 260,000 mark or above, cost is around three to five hundred (Canadian funds) each. Even more if you go with the dealer stock, better to go with the after market, rides even better.
