1983 Mazda 323 from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Carburetor replaced at 110,000kms. Aerial mount broke off while washing. Fuel hose came off at 110,000 although very easily fixed.

This car is a great first car. It is cheap to buy and uses very little fuel. The suspension is very soft with a fair amount of body roll around corners. Acceleration is poor, but does not worry me. The front seats are a bit too high for myself (I am 185cms) and cannot be lowered by very much. Rear seats have very little leg room.

Hi.

Just acquired a 1982 Mazda 323.

Reading your reviews, you all appear confident of the mileage?

My odometer only has capacity for 99,999.

I assume all of yours are the same?

So, how can you be sure of the mileage?

Um, are you sure you are talking about a 1982 Mazda 323?? I have a 1982 Mazda 323 as a commuter car and have a current reading of 219,500 kms. The distance meter has 6 rows meaning it can go to 999,999 kms....

P.C.

Sydney.

In regards to Rob Crombie, are you sure that you are looking at the trip meter and not the odometer? Trip meter will go to 99999, unless you have a problem with your odometer.
