1997 Mazda 323 Executive review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, reliable, well equipped, superb"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all - just standard stuff, two front tyres... and that's it.
Oh, poor security - my stereo was nicked, and there was not standard alarm.
General comments?
This is easily the best car I've owned. It's quick. It's reliable. It's comfortable.
The only reason I'm getting rid of it is that I can't afford the monthly repayments anymore, otherwise I would have absolutely no hesitation in buying another one.
It's badged "Executive", but there's no alloys and no spoiler, a pity, but they're only aesthetic. If only I could win the lottery.
