Mazda / 323 / Astina SP20 5-dr hatch

The Car

THE SP20 incorporates the general 323 facelift of February 2001, which includes reshaped headlight clusters now with integrated turning and hazard warning lamps and Mazda's five-point corporate grille. But it also gives the five-door hatch a good deal of the requisite 'attitude', with a large front bumper/airdam with foglights, crosshatched grille, side skirts, a low and high-mounted rear spoiler, chrome tailpipe extension and an excellent set of 16-inch alloy wheels. Mazda claims a racy SP20 decal confirms the ID.
