My 323 is hands down my most favorite car I've owned. Mine isn't like most(loud exhaust, light bars, other odd things) but it's mechanically stock. From a mechanics perspective, this car couldn't be any cheaper and easier to work on. I have 325xxx miles on it and it will still do it's cute little one wheel burn out. These cars are the perfect car for A to B to C and all the way to Z. 38 Miles to the gallon, that easily competes with any newer cars. The 1990 Madza 323, it the best car of it's time. That is all.

Currently have 142,000 miles, original clutch, transmission, broke timing chain at 74,000 miles, air conditioner too costly to switch over to new coolant. Great car, wife calls it her "Putt Putt". 30+ MPG on highway and around 28 in town. Regular maintenance, batteries, tires, etc.

Obviously this is an older model (going on 29 years), but if you can find one in good condition with low miles, it won't disappoint. I often have people approach me when parking to say they had this model before and loved it, or to ask if I would be willing to sell it. With regular routine maintenance, it stills runs like new. UPDATE: This car is now 31 years old. A heater coil leak shorted the dashboard computer (who knew a 1990 car had a computer??), causing fuel intake problems; a rebuilt computer (with a shield to protect against future leaks) fixed this . . . and it still runs like new! UPDATE: The car is now 33 years old and running fine. Passed the smog test last month!!

I got here by accident and since I own a pre-owned Mazda 323, decided to say something good about this car. Very reliable car. I like it a lot. It *is* really fun to pass with this car big super-duper 8 cylined SUVs on winding mountain roads!
