Pros: Reliable, Economical, Practical
Cons: 1.6 Liter not enough punch. Automatic Transmission moves alot.
The Bottom Line: Fantastic Car if its well maintained. But check the service history
I purchased a used 1991 Mazda 323 about a year and a half ago. It had 125,000 miles on it and seemed to be in good running order. I bought it from a woman who received it as a gift from her father after graduating high school and has been driving it ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great gas mileage, speed and efficency
Cons: Lack of used parts when needed.
The Bottom Line: It's a wonderfull little car for somebody who goes to college or only makes short trips.
I bought my 323, used a year ago. I have only had one serious problem with it, the one rocker went bad. I was able to salvage one from a u-pull-it center for 5 bucks!
This car is great on gas mileage and is fun to drive. I get about 40 ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent mileage, handles and drives well
Cons: seatbelt cable problems
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car to a buyer who wants dependable, comfortable transportation and isn't concerned with bells and whistles.
After several months of searching for a very cheap ($1500) used car, I bought this Mazda and have been delighted ever since. This car was obviously very well-maintained by the original owner; still, you would expect a few creaks and rattles out of a car ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: almost 40 MPG; cheap; reliable; manual is surprisingly quick and fun to drive
Cons: style is dated; easily dented
The Bottom Line: Super cheap but peppy transportation. If you like the looks of this car, get one. I recommend manual shift, dark color.
My wife bought this incredibly inexpensive car when she was in school. The car proved to be very reliable with awesome mileage ( more than 40 MPG on highway when tuned ). The car was surprisingly peppy -- more so than other subcompacts like the Toyota ... read more

Pros: Cheap, easy to drive
Cons: Undependable, ugly
Last summer, between my dependable old Volvo and my current Camry, I made the mistake of buying a Mazda 323. This is a tiny little car that is no fun to drive. This car is a disaster. It rattles and shakes terribly. It’s so lightweight that it blew ... read more

I purchased this car from a roommate of mine when her father bought her a new car. Her father had had the car put together from 2 Mazda 323's that had been in accidents, and between the two there were parts enough to build one. I previously owned an '87 ... read more

Unnerving seeing a truck grill so close in rearview.
....Not a gas guzzler either. I got what I paid for. I purchased this little used gem(not a diamond) a couple of years ago for about $1300. It had 91k miles on it. I needed a reliable car quick and cheap. The 323 fit that bill. I've admired the little
