1988 Mazda 323 DX review from North America
"A lot of driving left in this one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I can't give much of a history record on the car because I just bought it from an elderly lady that had the car from new. Now I'm the second owner 17 years later. I know it needs a complete exhaust system and two small rusty spots in the floor cleaned up befor I put it on the road. I was looking for a cheap economical car to drive and I think I found it. At only 78,800 kms and a purchacing price of $500 I can't loose.
General comments?
I'm impressed with this car so far. It handles the road tight and fairly smooth for a small car. I like the 5 speed manual transmition, shifts smooth and easy.
