These are a good car. 323's have always been massively under rated. They drive so much nicer than other hatches and build quality is excellent. Like these alot. :D

ive been around a few of this style 323.. be carefull of hidden rust due to very poor underseal cover, they are also bad for having very thin paint and ive seen a few with very bad surface rust taking hold around the boot area, mainly: rear inner arches & rear door shut's.
they'll run all day long easy to maintain, comfy & there are a few add on's available for them, they do make good value for money, i look at them now and think i can see where the latest Scooby designer got some ideas from

I had one of these, at 5 yrs old I had to have the rear arches done due to rust, still under warranty so didn't cost but not good really. It was a really reliable car nice and comfortable, looks sporty but uninspiring to drive. You'll really enjoy it if your not too bothered about performance and it should be a reliable bus.
