1986 Mazda 323 4WD review from Australia and New Zealand
"A performance 4WD hatchback with excellent handing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked a crankshaft back in 1994 but otherwise only wear and tear items.
General comments?
Good little sporty hatchback. Being 4WD gives the car great handling in all conditions. It certainly chews through the gas though.
