1991 Mazda 323 F GLX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my second 323f, I liked the first one so much. I had a 1990 1.5 Jap import, and now I have a 1991 1.6.
Both had these problems:
Passenger door lock is disconnected from central locking.
A lot of engine noise compared to newer cars.
Windows open and close very slowly.
My 1.6 has these problems:
Driver's window auto-stop not auto-stopping, causing loud clunking.
Light switch not working for sidelights, had to install push button switch.
Noticeable lack of power with less than 3,000 revs, then I get a sudden burst.
General comments?
Smooth manual gearbox.
Reliable car - never not started and low fuel consumption.
