1998 Mazda 323 LXI review from UK and Ireland
"P*sh"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Don't think it's a bad car, but I have a bad one if you know what I mean!
1 week after purchase - new battery.
2 weeks after purchase - new discs and pads and handbrake cable + some welding (all of the above touching £500 repair bill).
4 weeks after purchase - driver's wing mirror fell off!!
2x new front tyres.
Big rattle and clunking noise now coming from off side front.
Believe it or not car came with a years MOT when I bought it. No kidding.
Oh and the CD player has stopped working!
General comments?
The first car I've ever had. So many faults on in a short space of time
Think it's just been an unlucky car for me. I even crashed it just before Xmas, and it had to get a new bumper!
