Mazda / 323 / Astina 1.6 5-dr hatch
Overview
MAZDA'S 323 Astina hatchback belongs to the new school of thinking that has
swept though the Japanese company in the last few years.
Eschewing the avant
garde shapes of the early 1990s it tends towards the practical, "look, gaining
in passenger space and comfort at the same time.
The well-proven driveline and
suspension systems are competent if not inspiring and the voluminous hatchback
lines make it a totally different proposition to its slinky predecessor.
Model release dates: September 1998 - June 2002
Previous model
Mazda's 323 has been a familiar face since the 1970s and the sleek BA series
was arguably the best looking ever. Available as a sedan or five-door hatch and
offering 1.8-litre four-cylinder or 2.0-litre V6 power, the front-drive 323
remains a solid used car proposition.
