2001 Mazda 323 LXi review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap, reliable, comfortable car that is roomy enough for 4 adults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, well it got dirty once I think.
General comments?
This car is remarkably quicker than my old 1.4 Fiesta. Although not a Porsche or a Ferrari, its quick enough to get about town, and it pulls well on motorways up to about 90mph.
It is comfortable on long journeys, mainly because of the adjustable steering wheel, and comfortable seat.
This car has loads of room. I can adjust the drivers seat so that I am in a comfortable driving position, and an adult can sit behind me with adequate leg room. (I am 6 feet tall)
The cabin layout is OK, but some of the switches are fiddly to use, e. g the rear wiper switch.
