1996 Mazda 323 F GXi review from UK and Ireland
"Total quality Mazda!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing!
General comments?
In comparison with my previous Astra... it's like comparing Chalk & Cheese....... NO CONTEST!!!
British manufacturers should use the Japanese quality as a model for their own!!
Very quiet, great power through the middle gears... feels much quicker than a 1.5......
Build quality is excellent... best buy I've made!!
