1989 Mazda 323 DX review from North America
"A well built, highly economical mode of transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this vehicle, although I just purchased it within the past two weeks. I do, however, need to check out a slight vibration that is noticeable at approximately 2,200 RPM.
The air conditioning is not functioning properly, although it does blow cool air (not cold).
General comments?
This is a nice little car in appearance and to drive. I purchased the vehicle from the original owner, and it was exceptionally well maintained throughout. It is in almost new condition.
I have rechecked my calculations twice, but it is true - I am getting 47 miles per gallon on the highway!
I would highly recommend this vehicle if you are looking for a respectable economical vehicle that is very cheap to operate.
