Super TestCar reviews - Mazda - 323 - Astina SP20 5-dr hatchMazda modelsStand Out Features17 Jul 2001 AT the 'warm' (as opposed to hot) hatch market, appearance counts at least as much as - if not more - as engine performance and driving dynamics. While the evocative body adornments and interior decals achieve the desired effect, what is perhaps most striking about the SP20 is that it also offers the keen driver plenty to work with. The 2.0-litre engine and somewhat handling-biased suspension are both excellent features. A lack of centre rear occupant safety items - unacceptable in any vehicle but glaringly so in a car worth close to $30,000 - disappoints. Did you know?Asbestos-free gasket and brake pads, azide-free airbag inflators and lead-free wiring insulation are used on 323All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
