    5 Stars FANTASTIC 17/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages sporty look, great features, comfortable, low road tax,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages windows, high speed acceleration, no standard alarm

    I bought my Mazda 323F 1.5GXi(1998 P reg) six months ago and can honestly say it is the best car I have had so far(it's my 5th). The reason for me initially choosing this make/model was partly due to word of mouth(my dad has bought mazda's for last 25 years and a friend at work has exact same model) and due to it having quite a sporty look about it. The additional features of this model are quite comprehensive: Driver/passenger airbags Power assisted steering Air conditioning Electric sunroof Immobilizer system Central locking Electric mirrors Electric windows Front fog lights Head light ... more

    5 Stars It pays to shop a Mazda? 29/06/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a little pricey

    Mazda cars may not be the cheapest around but, if you are looking for a new car, always include them on your list for a test drive. I say this because I feel they are a good car to use as a measure. You will not necessarily be presented with the most up-to-date design but the look will be good enough. Don't expect to find something completely different in the 'fixtures and fittings' line but most, if not all, things you will want will be there. So what do you get? A goodish looking car, well designed and robust, good specifications, comfortable interior, and reliability. In addition you will ... more

    Advantages Advantages Reliability Control Comfort Economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost of repairs if needed

    I chose Mazda because of the reputation for reliability, and I have not been disappointed. The 323 has a comfortable sporty feel, excelent handling, control and road holding. Inside there is the feeling of space and safety with a smooth ride. The 1.5 engine gives a good balance of power and economy. Overtaking, acceleration and agility are made easy, while the engine is not so big that your burning a hole in your pocket. Regarding spair parts, as with all Japanese makes they are generally more expensive. This said, I have found that there are fewer repairs that are needed and that the quality ... more

    5 Stars My ageing Mazda - I love her! 05/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages sporty looks and reliability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages electrical problems like brake lights

    I bought my P reg Mazda 323 Innsbruck in April 2000 and have had it for seven years now and have not been disappointed. I can honestly say that it is RELIABLE! I wanted a Japanese car when I bought this one as I knew that they were reliable, but frankly some of them seemed 'fuddy duddy' (Honda) or boring (Nissan). When I saw this lovely, sporty hatchback it was love at first sight... Anyway, seven years have gone by and I can report that apart from the usual tyres and exhausts, nothing has gone wrong. I've had seven years of happy motoring, and despite feeling that I should perhaps replace my ... more

    Advantages Advantages good value, excellent drive, reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages smaller than other family cars

    Mazda has now been my parent’s choice of car manufacturer for a long 12 years. Having just donated their 323 to me in favour of an upgrade, I am so proud of my new (if actually slightly old) car. It has served my parents well and this is clear from its age. It has only had to have one major repair when the exhaust was replaced but for a 12 year old car I think this shows you just how reliable it is. The car is 5 door and my particular one is a super sexy red. The car is not too large nor too small and definitely feels smaller on the inside than it appears from outside. It would definitely make ... more

    5 Stars Get one before they're gone 13/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliability, Price, Looks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Road Noise

    I bought a new Mazda 323 in October, and I'm delighted with it. Comfortable, easy to drive and reliable, I'm looking forward to owning it for a good few years more. I never thought I'd buy a new car. They just depreciate like mad, and cost too much to start with. However, when Mazda introduced their new Mazda3 car, the old 323 model was greatly knocked down in price (from 11,000 to 8,500 at Arnold Clark). And so I ended up with a new car. The 323 GXi(bought 2003) comes with central locking, ABS, power steering and air conditioning. The GSi, a step up has alloys, a sun roof and a CD player, all ... more

    4 Stars mazda 323f gxi review 22/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages sporty japanese looking car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages rear wheel arches

    I own one of these, all i can say is its a really reliable car. Value for money. Looks sporty with the lovely headlight design, a spacious boot for shopping, a very good car for family use. Seats are very comfortable. GXI version comes with air conditioning great for summer day out. Not just that it is only a group 7 insurance compared to the older model of the mazda 323f which is group 10. So it can be driven by young drivers aswell so dont need to worry about insurance costs. Only bad thing about this car is that the rear wheel arch has a high chance of rusting probablyh due to the design ... more
