1989 Mazda 323 SE review from North America
"Cheap to use"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The top of the radiator has a small crack so it leaks a little bit now and then Muffler is getting kinda loud.
Had to get new plugs, and plug wires.
General comments?
I bought this car from a relative who got it at a car auction a couple of years ago. I paid $300 for it. Best investment ever made. Its cheap to run and is aw some with gas. The car I had before was a 1992 Chevy caprice, never had any problems with that yet, but it costs to much to use with gas prices the way they are. So now the caprice is parked and I'm using the Mazda, love the little car fun to drive and run around with.
