Mazda 323 Fastback 2.0i V6 ZXi 5d (1998/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
You get what you pay for, so it was a bit pricey.
Costs
30mpg if I am careful. Parts/tyres etc bit expensive.

On the road
Driving
Handles well, but boy does it crash on small potholes.
Performance
A few adjustments and this motor would cook far more expensive competitors.

Living with it
Reliability
These tamerous wee beasties are chiselled from granite.
Image
Still good rarity, especially V6 helps.
Comfort
To make it handle, the suspension is rock hard, everything else good.
-
Security and Service
Security
Factory immobiliser. Rarity helps, as everyone and his dog can get into an Escort or Astra.
Service
Discontinued parts is only real annoyance.
