1991 Mazda 323 GTi Fastback review from UK and Ireland

HT leads - very expensive and really only available from the maindealer - did however find a kit form from halfords, works brilliantly at a third of the maindealer price.

Driver's window switch went on the 4 block section, £240 from a main dealer - got it at a breakers yard for £40.

Drivers window starts siezing going up & down in winter - in about November I take off the inter-door panel and spray the backets/runners with wd40 and it is then OK.

Best car I have ever owned - every other car I have had, no longer than 12 months - never broken down apart from started missing when the HT leads went - I drive pretty fast and considering you can go into corners at 80+ and have no handling problems - just fantastic - sits down really low like a sports car should be, but as good and reliable as a family saloon.

If you are thinking of of buying -do- just be careful of insurance and don't buy parts from the main dealer - there are kits available or breakers yards - mine is on 112k miles and still going strong - the only car that whatever you ask it to.
