1990 Mazda 323 F GLX 1.8 SOCH
Summary:
A very good car
Faults:
Nothing special really.
I changed the timing belt, it had been changed at 105 000 km, but made a squicky sound.
I also had to change the petrol tank, when I had it totally filled up, it was leaking somewhere from the top of it.
General Comments:
A great and reliable car. Its always working and its cheap to own. I don't buy original parts anymore, and I change the parts myself if I can do it on my own.
This car is one of the first produced, in 1989. It has not central-looking, which is rather disappointing. This came later. And the seats are grey and a little bit uncomfortable, 323F got better seats later.
I can sometimes hear some interior noise now and then, but it's a old car.
The 1.8 SOCH-engine goes from 0-100 in 10 seconds, and is strong enough. Especially from 3300RPM.
I'm very happy with this car. Cheap to own, looks good with my original GT-spoiler and 15" Alessio alloys.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Back again, one more thing.
Read road test reviews on this vehicle, car handles & drives superb, a very comfortable ride.
The seats cuddle you & are very comfortable that give heaps of support even for long drives. Suspensions are good & car drives smooth.
All electrics work so well, no probs at all & at a low price.
Till today heaps of expensive cars don't have full electrics, so you tell me what fun is??? car with no electrics?? or Mazda 323 with this as standard on 323s & affordable? not to mention very reliable & with great style/performance
