Any issues with the Mazda 323?

What are the most common problems with the 2002 Mazda 323 GLX? Is there anything I should look out for when buying one?

Hi Levi,

There's actually nothing specific to check - those old 323s are really solid cars. But, as I say, they are old now so check all the basics - listen for any nasty rattles, clonks or knocks, check for damage underneath the car and under the boot carpet etc. Check that things like the heater, wipers and lights are all working properly.
