1988 Mazda 323 DX review from North America
"The best car out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car needed a new exhaust system as well as a new head gasket. The brake rotors became warped.
General comments?
The Mazda 323 is a great car. The fuel economy is amazing. I get about 400 kilometers per tank. The parts for the car are cheaply priced. The interior is well laid out and is very comfortable. Even in the back where there is usually less space there is enough room for two adults to sit comfortably. This type of car is an great first car for anyone. Plus it is pretty peppy for such a small engine.
