1990 Mazda 323 F GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV boots split on a regular basis. At about 70,000 miles a plug lead went, causing a misfire.
General comments?
A superbly reliable car, which I felt to be a little slower than I'd expected - it needs revving like mad to get the best from it BUT it likes revs ie very smooth engine. I sold my car at 100,000 miles and it felt perfect, having only ever had 1 exhaust, 1 new battery and a set of brake pads, BUT lots of CV boots. Parts prices are the only real drawback - an outer CV boot was £70, however I did manage to find some Ford ones to fit and these lasted longer than the originals! The car never let me down - even when the plug lead went I drove it home!
