1999 Mazda 323 review from Costa Rica
"I strongly recommend this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong. After been running the car for 150000 KM I have no complains about it.
General comments?
This car is quick, mostly after 3500RPM. Excellent trouble free engine.
In its class is faster than the other similar Japanese 1.6L cars. Good Mileage - 740KM/48Litres.
I agree that it "handles like it's on rails". Very good stability on curves, nonetheless being a family car.
Even though the steering and gear shifter is stiffer than my previous car, seats, interior space and design make it very comfortable.
