1999 Mazda 323 LXi review from UK and Ireland
"Has the looks and delivers the goods"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent knocking noise when changing up through the gears. Despite 3 visits to the dealer the problem still exists.
Excessive wear on the front tyres. I was advised by the dealer that this is common with low profile tyres.
General comments?
The new shape is not as sporty looking as its predecessor, but it still looks good on the road.
Surprisingly nippy for 1.3.
