1997 Mazda 323 GXi review from UK and Ireland
"A car to be proud of, never fails to please"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car is very old now, so there have been some minor problems, but I drive it quite hard.
General comments?
This is my first car, but I'm not that innocent.
Such a good buy! Drives so smoothly, steering, gear change, everything.
Keep the insides of it clean to achieve full performance. I just recently discovered how quickly it can actually go when my boyfriend tapped out the air filter, and what a beautiful noise it makes.
Not the most common car on the road, and certainly not the first thing that would spring to mind when thinking of buying a fast car.
Turns a lot of heads. People who don't know anything about cars always think it is some kind of expensive sports car!
Interior in mine is a little gloomy, however I don't have the best model available. With the price I paid for it though, modifications are more than affordable!
Quite an ambitious car to learn how to drive in, but you can learn more than just the basics in it. Everything about it is affordable.
