1994 Mazda 323 Coupe review from Colombia
"Take away that monster from me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blue smoke at 70.000 Km.
Constant overheating.
Electrical starting problems.
I had to change ball bearings every 10.000 km.
Noises everywhere.
Broken carpets, broken ashtray, all plastic parts falling down.
General comments?
It's expensive, all spear parts costs like hell.
Engine's life is too short, at 70.000 Km. looked like 200.000 of any other brand. It's a general problem in Mazda Colombia and nobody does anything.
Unreliable, my insurance company hated me because of my constant assistance callings. I used to travel besides towing truck driver.
