Mazda 323 2001 reviews
Pros: Last year's 323f. This car could be honored to keep for pocket money, absolutely nothing required. The only details I've changed are spark plugs, oils and the things I broke myself. Engine, gearbox, both damn durable, no repairs, no leaks than. Driving in parallel a German automotive masterpiece, you should be amazed at how the Japanese know how to build a car.
Cons: There is rust unfortunately. This was a bit of a winter ride, had to to weld the ends of the rear arches and sills. It must be said that the floor, sideboards and all the pockets are excellent for my car, as the above-mentioned welding works are not so expensive at all. If the next owner doesn't drive in the winter then I think this car will go for another 10 years.
The availability of parts should also be mentioned. I can't adjust the valves, spacers can not be found nowhere. Peculiar design for brakes, control with horseshoe in one piece and these are not available as well.

Pros: 323f has a great engine and drives well on the road. A great car for hauling wares. Has good acceleration and speed for an engine that size. All in all a good old car.
Cons: Ended up costing more in repairs (mainly steering and suspension) than I had bought it for. Cars that age in northern EU have it rough with salt, and this ended up being one. Check around wheels for it.

Pros: Very affordable, abundant, stable on road, a small tax, attractive interior and exterior appearance.
Cons: Should look after corrosion, but this is not as bad as next Mazda 3,6, etc. Weak sound isolation both engine and from outside.
