2000 Mazda 323 GLX review from Israel
"A solid, reliable and boring everyday car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airflow sensor gone bad twice.
Front seat back support worsens with time.
Hole developed in exhaust manifold by the time I got the car.
General comments?
Fuel consumption ridiculous at 10.5km/l at any speed or environment.
Severely underpowered.
Quite noisy on highway.
Very bad and noisy on bumpy pavements.
Driver and passenger develop back pain after a one hour drive.
Good handling, excellent transmission, solid interior fittings, mostly reliable, will take you from point A to B very well, but that's it.
