1994 Mazda 121 1.3i review from UK and Ireland
"The perfect 2nd car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
No problems. Just standard routine services & timing belt change.
Car is very reliable even with high mileage.
General comments?
The car looks very small, but is quite roomy. There's loads of head room, 4 doors and a nice boot, which makes it an ideal family runabout.
Its nice and nippy around town and easy to park. Like previous Mazda's I've had its well built and very reliable.
The only thing I don't like about this car is the automatic choke which stays on much too long in winter, in city traffic it just wastes fuel. The 1.0 litre version has a manual choke which I preferred and was easier on petrol.
