1986 Mazda 323 LX review from North America
"I think the 323 is an amazing car for what it sold for new"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far to date, I have had no major problems with my 323. This car has been very good to me and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. Although, the driver's side seat was worn well beyond the point of repair. I am currently searching for an exact replacement.
General comments?
I do have to say that the acceleration is well above what I would have imaged by just looking at the car. It has a few modifications (air intake, header, and exhaust) that really make my little baby fly.
