1.6 GSi 5d Auto (AC)
Mazda 323 Hatchback (1998-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Reliability and the way it drives. Cheap to service and being a timing chain engine means nothing to worry about except regular oil changes. I will do oil changes every 5000. Rear arches are supposed to rust badly on these but ill keep mine clean and waxed and should have no problems. Loving my bargain car as it does everything and has no rust with only 36000 on the clock. Biggest bonus was the price... I cant believe how overlooked these superb vehicles are and i only paid £700 for mine in part ex for a £300 micra.

How reliable do you find the car?

After 2 months, nothing to report and im not expecting any nasty surprises.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Practical,Drives amazing decent mpg being an automatic.
