1997 Mazda 323 Executive review from UK and Ireland
"A sporty looking clean car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch fitted at 45600 miles by the garage prior to purchase.
Front brake disc pads fitted at the 63000 mile service.
The exhaust back box mounting bracket corroded at 66000 miles.
Nothing else has gone wrong.
General comments?
Changing the standard 14 inch steel wheels for a set of 17 inch alloys has changed the whole look of the car.
