2000 Mazda 323 Astina review from Australia and New Zealand
"Everyone should get one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch played up a couple of months after I bought it, but besides that nothing else has happened.
General comments?
It is a great little car, I bought it because fuel cost too much for my Commodore, and I do not regret it.
The manual gearbox makes it take off quick, and it is fuel efficient.
