1999 Mazda 323 Astina review - Long-term owner

Multimedia and safety technology: 7/10

It's missing its original stereo, but still has a CD stacker.

Practicality: 7/10

Interior is excellent quality. There is just enough space in the rear cargo area.

Driving: 7/10

It handles quite well for its age. It brakes well but it could do with a little more power.

Running costs: 7/10

At the moment it's a bit expensive and hard to find parts. The insurance costs are great.

Reliability: 6/10

Not too bad but it needs a little work done on it.
