Mazda 323 (98-03) - Review Review by Parkers on 22 March 2006 The modern 323 should have been more popular, but its lack of image and Mazda's relatively low profile on the British market hindered its acceptance. Plus points are good reliability and build quality and a roomy, well equipped cabin. It's also pleasant to drive, especially with the lively but refined 1.8 and 2.0 engines. Used values tend to be high - shortage of stock means that prices tend to hold up better than average in the small family sector. 3 out of 5 Other Mazda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 3 out of 5 Fiat Stilo Hatchback (02-07) Solidity, interior space on five-door.
