In the past two years basically I only had to change brake pads, oil and tires. The servo pump needed to be welded, but it still works after two years. No problems occurred with electricity, though on low rpm with the headlights on the engine starts to vibrate sometimes. I found oil leaking spots on the engine, but it can be solved with minor repair. The only problem is the high gas consumption in urban cycles (10-11 l/100 km).
I am really satisfied with the performance of the car. I use it on long distance drives, acceleration is really good, even from 100km/h in fifth gear. Though it is a small car it grips the road well and I feel it safe even in fast turns. The interior is simple with comfortable seats (my hight is 190 cm). Materials used inside are friendly and good to touch. The controls are handy. I think this is an ideal car for all situations for people living on low budget.
Our first family car was Shkoda 120l.Greetings from Bulgaria. I now have a 323f 92 pop up lights hatchback Mazda which is 2nd hand and it`s on 186 000km...and today I`m gonna change my oil. I have drive it somewhere about 400km and I love it... but I`m scared because I have heard that the parts for Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and etc. are very expensive... and If I need anything... you see what I mean. And in Urban is somewhere about 10 l/100km (8,9/100) and outside 5-6 l/100km (5,7/100km- so says Mazda).The parts which I must change for my beaty (when you got 2bd hand car you must change oil, and other things I don`t know how to say them in English) waren`t so expensive. I Love it.
