Boot hatch pistons needed replacing and it was difficult to get replacements (discontinued parts and all that).
Absolutely nothing else!!!
Below 4,000 the car gently purrs around town. Above 4,000 just hang on!
By slightly over inflating good Z rated tyres you can really annoy caterhams by keeping up with them on country lanes in a five door practical hatch. It is that cart like! So funny pulling away in second. The car gently pulls away and your passengers carry on chatting. When it hits 4,000, most cars are ready to change gear. All of a sudden the V6 wakes up and 60mph comes and goes before you need to change again. Funny, passengers go quiet for some reason.
The cabin though is at best compact. It does have decent legroom, but headroom is limited.
This is a very useful review. I'm just looking to buy a Mazda 323 ZXI after only finding out about them about 2 weeks ago and I think I've fallen in love... well certainly within the sort of price range I can get this kinda power for anyway. Thanks for the helpful comments.
Just bought one and they are superb though becoming very rare. Enjoy the fun and speed. No real issues so far.
