Mazda 323 2.0 Sport 5d (AC) (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
As with all Mazda, excellent value for money.
Costs
For the price I paid (£11k, import from Ireland) this is far better than a Focus.

On the road
Driving
Driven hard, does loose a little, although hard to unsettle.
Performance
Not a quick as I thought it would be, but very toquey and can drive around in 5th all day.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Faultless, although after only 12k miles the brake discs seem warped.
Image
Very nice looking, like an Impreza with large fogs (Sport) but not OTT.
Comfort
Excellent, compared to the wife's awful Tigra.

Security and Service
Security
Good and I've upgraded the alarm for interior sensors and will be fitting a pager.
Service
No probs from local dealer, despite being an import. Good service intervals and costs ok too.
