IF the current generation 323 has impressed us before with its good engine characteristics and vehicle dynamics, the facelifted version in Astina SP20 guise goes a step further. Armed with a gutsy 2.0-litre engine and a raft of mechanical enhancements, the SP20 delivers the goods that its body adornments and interior presentation suggest. That's not often expected in a class where image is everything. But it's certainly welcome.
