Mazda 323 Fastback 2.0i V6 ZXi 5d (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought at 3 years old - still was pricey, but well worth it.
Costs
Fuel economy about 30mpg - but otherwise, very reliable, so no additonal costs other than very expensive tyres!
-
On the road
Driving
Smooth as silk - everything handy, fast enough and comfortable.
Performance
Smooth acceleration from V6, but could accelerate out of corners a bit quicker!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Japanese - need I say more? No problems at all.
Image
Plenty of admirers asking if they should buy one!
Comfort
Leather seats feel too much like vinyl, but apart from that ok.
-
Security and Service
Security
Additional alarm fitted and recommended as car only has immobiliser as standard.
Service
Mazda servicing good, but a bit expensive.
