Mazda 323 Hatchback 1600 Turbo Lux 4x4 3d (1986/D) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Not as competitive as its competitors when new. Good used car performance - poor man's Subaru.
Costs
Servicing and running costs are average. Mazda parts expensive.

On the road
Driving
Quick nimble car, but scary bodyroll. Lacks handling refinment.
Performance
Very good. Best on windy country roads. 1.6 turbo engine will suffer lots of abuse.

Living with it
Reliability
If unmolested, exellent. Imperative to buy with service history. Would score 5, however expect major repairs to be expensive.
Image
What image??
Comfort
A lot better that most rivals; interior is good, but lacks any flair.

Security
Little offered by manfacturer, however never the target of car thieves.
