1996 Mazda 323 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Seriously reliable, seriously hot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only recently purchased the car and have no problems with it so far. the car drives like a dream.
General comments?
The best comment I can give this car is the way it handles. It grips the road beautifully and takes no effort to steer it through tight bends.
The shape and design of the car is a real head turner. Most people think its actually worth a lot more than it is.
The interior is spacious, perhaps a little simple, but well designed. It has everything you need such as electric mirrors, windows and sunroof and twin airbags.
The engine purrs like a well refined cat. The noise is so quiet you would think the ignition wasn't on. It's a real secure and comfy drive.
On the negative side, bearing in mind the positives greatly out-weigh the negatives, the car lacks a bit of speed. Perhaps not in first gear or the latter gears, but certainly second and third.
