1996 Mazda 323 Excutive review from UK and Ireland
"Way better than the average car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing ever went wrong with this car, until an old man in a Merc pulled out in front of me on a fast road. I hit his car at 60 mph and the strong construction, excellent airbags, seats and ABS allowed me to walk away unhurt. I bought another 323 as a result.
General comments?
This car is a good all-rounder.
It is reliable.
It handles like a sports car.
It will protect you in a crash.
The interior is uninspiring and you need to use a lot of fan to get adequate ventilation.
