1998 Mazda 323 ZXi V6 review from UK and Ireland
"Speed and Luxury and just so much fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very Little - the Front Anti-Roll Strut failed, but this was covered by the warranty. Also the exhaust midsection needed replacing. But it was the original and 3 years isn't bad. I have had cars need the same section twice in a year... Very reliable.
General comments?
A wonderful car although not cheap to run.
Handles like a dream and is docile enough round town, but don't hit 4000 RPM in 1st..YIKES.
Comfortable and well equipped.
A Firm ride, but then it's a sports car so what do you expect.
Not frugal on petrol, but if you buy any V6 you are not counting the pennies for go-go juice.
