1996 Mazda 323 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"I'll probably hold on to it until it dies on me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing except the motorized aerial which had to be replaced at 60,000.
General comments?
It's a 323F that I have and never owned a car like this which has been near faultless. Build quality first rate although I do not know the build quality of 323F after 1998. It's a pity that Mazda had stopped manufacturing cars which were emotive although with the mazda 6, RX8 and Mazda 3 has revived the passion.
