1986 Mazda 323 BF10 4WD Turbo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very reliable (besides gearbox), easy to drive, quick, and is nice to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's a rally car, so it had it's engine rebuilt around 90,000 KMS.
Sheared teeth from second gear and had to be replaced.
General comments?
Easy too handle and drive quickly on tarmac.
Central diff locking ability useful for dirt/mud/gravel.
Electrics are a pain in the arse.
It is quick, and handles well.
